John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47

Against MoabMoab, in recompense for its pride and security, and for its triumphing over Israel in the day of her calamity, shall itself be laid waste and taken captive: cp. the ’burden of Moab ’in Isaiah 15, 16.1. Nebo] not the mountain, but the Reubenite town (Numbers 32:38), which had been annexed by Mesha, king of Moab (about 895 b.c.), according to the ’Moabite Stone ’records.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 48:4

(4) Her little ones.—The Hebrew adjective is the same as the Zoar, the little one, of Genesis 19:20, and that city may probably have been, as in Isaiah 15:5, in the prophet’s mind. In any case the “little ones” are cities, and not children. read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47

CHAPTER 48 Concerning Moab 1. The overthrow of Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-10 ) 2. The humiliation of Moab (Jeremiah 48:11-19 ) 3. Reaping what they sowed (Jeremiah 48:20-28 ) 4.

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 48:1-47

The History of Moab the History of Mankind Jer 48:25 This chapter is full of Moab. We take next to no interest in Moab, the son of Lot; he is not one of the choice figures of history; yet, like many a land little known, there are wonderful surprises for those who will penetrate the history and study its meaning. Moab is a large word: it means not a man only, but a nation large, haughty, and powerful; and it is in this view that we must now interpret its continual significance. The relations... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-11

The Prophet Jeremiah, whom the Lord when giving him his commission, had set over the nations and over the kingdoms, (see Jeremiah 1:10 ) is here arraigning, trying, and condemning Moab; and an awful condemnation it is. But what I particularly beg to notice in this account is, the cause assigned in this last verse. Moab hath been at ease from his youth. Reader! mark, I beseech you, what the Lord saith. And this is the one fatal cause, both of the destruction of kingdoms and individuals, an... read more
