Jeremiah 48:40 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 48:40

38 A general lamentation
On all the ^ahousetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have ^bbroken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.

39 “They shall wail:
‘How she is broken down!
How Moab has turned her back with shame!’
So Moab shall be a derision
And a dismay to all those about her.”

40 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, ^aone shall fly like an eagle,
And ^bspread his wings over Moab.

41 Kerioth is taken,
And the strongholds are surprised;
^aThe mighty men’s hearts in Moab on that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

42 And Moab shall be destroyed ^aas a people,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.

43 ^aFear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.
