エレミヤ書 48:40-45 JC

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:45

They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon - Heshbon being a fortified place, they who were worsted in the fight fled to it, and rallied under its walls; but, instead of safety, they found themselves disappointed, betrayed, and ruined. See Jeremiah 48:2 ; (note), and the note there. But a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon - Jeremiah has borrowed this part of his discourse from an ancient poet quoted by Moses, Numbers 21:28 ; (note); where see the notes. The crown of the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:40

Verse 40 Here again he introduces God’s name, for it was necessary to confirm an incredible prophecy by his authority. “God is he,” he says, “who declares that enemies will come, who will fly through all the land of Moab.” He now compares the Chaldeans to eagles; and there is here a name understood which is not expressed. Fly will he like an eagle, that is, the king of Babylon with his army. The sum of what is said then is, that however widely extended might be the country of Moab, yet there... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:41

Verse 41 I have already reminded you, that the Prophet is not using too many words in this extended discourse, for it was necessary to confirm at large what all would have otherwise rejected. He then says, that the cities of Moab were taken, that strongholds were seized He mentions these things expressly, because the country of Moab thought that it was defended by cities and strongholds; and they thus thought, “Should the Chaldeans come and make an irruption, there are many cities who will... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:42

Verse 42 He repeats what we have before observed, that the calamity of Moab would be a just reward for his pride and indeed his sacrilege. The Prophet then says that though God’s vengeance might seem extremely grievous, yet it was most just, because the Moabites had not only been cruel against their neighbors, but also reproachful against God. Here, then, he condemns them first for cruelty, and then for their impious pride, because they exalted themselves against God But we must bear in mind... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:43

Verse 43 By these words the Prophet skews, that though the Moabites should adopt many means of escape, yet they should be taken, for God’s hand would everywhere entrap them. He mentions terror first, then the pit, and thirdly, the snare, (24) that is, “Thou wilt be so frightened that terror will compel thee to flee; but when thou fleest, pits will be in the way into which thou wilt fall: but if thou wilt rise from the pit, snares will surround thee, and thou wilt be taken.” We then see that by... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:44

Verse 44 Now all this has not been expressed without reason, because we know with how many flatteries men are wont to delude themselves when God summons them to judgment; for they immediately look around here and there, and promise themselves impunity, and then they hope for light punishment, as though they were at peace with God. But the unbelieving harden themselves, as Isaiah says, as though they had made a covenant with death and a compact with hell. (Isaiah 28:15.) As, then, the wicked set... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:45

Verse 45 He confirms what is said in the last verse, that the Moabites would in vain resort to their strongest cities, even Heshbon and Sihon; because a flame would thence break forth, which would consume the whole land. We hence see that God took away from the Moabites all their vain confidences, and showed that no defences could stand against his power, when once he rose up for judgment. The fleers, he says, shall stand under the shadow of Heshbon, thinking that there would be a safe refuge... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

1 . Jeremiah 48:29-38 recur in Isaiah 16:6-10 ; Isaiah 15:4 , Isaiah 15:5 , Isaiah 15:6 ; Isaiah 16:12 , Isaiah 16:11 ; Isaiah 15:2 , Isaiah 15:3 ; not, indeed, without many peculiarities, and those peculiarities are so striking, and so little in harmony with Jeremiah's usual mode of using his predecessor's writings, that some have held that verses 29-38 were inserted by one of Jeremiah's readers. 2 . Verses 43, 44 so closely resemble Isaiah 24:17 , Isaiah 24:18 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

The judgment of Moab. As the prophet's "eye in a fine frenzy rolling" sees the flood of the Chaldean invasion sweeping over one after another of the nations, his words flash out in pictures full of energy and fire. If this world's calamities are thus terrible, how shall the awful realities of eternity be contemplated? Why should some of us be so shocked at the strong language of preachers? Strange and fanatical as it may appear, the fury of a Knox is more consonant with much of life and... read more
