耶利米書 48:25-26 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:26-27

Moab exulting over fallen Israel. Here is another allusion to a wine country. Moab knew well what it was to drink to excess. The drunkard with his silly talk and behavior is a common object of ridicule everywhere. And Moab shall become to other nations abject and degraded as the drunkard. This is the end of its wrong excitement over the fall of Israel Moab has seen Israel in its days of power and glory and pride, and, cooing, has feared. Could the days of Balak and the prophecies of Balaam... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:26-35

And what is Moab's crime? At an earlier point the prophet said that it was the callousness produced by long prosperity ( Jeremiah 48:11 ); but here another sin is mentioned—Moab's haughty contempt of Jehovah. "For this it deserves that its contempt should be thrown back upon itself, by its being made, like a drunken man, the scorn of all" (Ewald). The figure is, no doubt, a coarse one, but not unnatural in the oratory (we must put aside inspiration, which leaves the forms of speech... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 48:18-25

Jeremiah 48:18-25. Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon Thou that art exalted in pride, and rendered effeminate through luxury: Dibon being one of the chief cities of Moab; come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst Submit to a mean condition, wherein thou shalt feel the want of all the conveniences of life. The Hebrew language expresses a barren land, which yields no sustenance by a thirsty ground, Psalms 63:2; Isaiah 35:7; Ezekiel 19:13. O inhabitant of Aroer A town in the borders... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 48:26-27

Jeremiah 48:26-27. Make ye him drunken God’s judgments are often represented under the metaphor of a cup of intoxicating liquors: see note on Jeremiah 25:15. Moab also shall wallow in his vomit The judgments which God sends upon him shall expose him to the scorn of his enemies; just as a drunken man is the object of men’s laughter and derision. For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Didst not thou insult over the calamities of the Jews when they were carried away captive? Israel is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

A message concerning Moab (48:1-47)Moab was one nation that tried to form an alliance with Judah against Babylon (see 27:1-3). Moab will now suffer Babylon’s anger. Jeremiah pictures the scene: the land devastated, fortresses smashed, cities destroyed, people crying out in distress, refugees fleeing from the invading armies (48:1-6).Chemosh, Moab’s national god, cannot save the nation. Rather, it will be taken into captivity along with Moab’s civil and religious leaders. The towns of Moab will... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:26

"Make ye him drunken for he magnified himself against Jehovah: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head. Oh ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest over the mouth of the abyss."The long hatred between various divisions of the Semitic people is in some ways a mystery. Lot,... read more
