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. Several places mentioned in this chapter have not been certainly identified. 2. Heshbon] an Ammonite town on the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 48:22

(22) Beth-diblathaim.—The name signifies “the house of the double cake of figs,” and was, probably, applied to one of the more fertile districts of the Moabite country. In Numbers 33:46-47, the name Almon-diblathaim appears as one of the stations of the Israelites between Dibon and “the mountains of Abarim before Nebo,” and the conjunction of the names implies its identity with the place here mentioned. For Dibon and Nebo, see Notes on Jeremiah 48:1; Jeremiah 48:18. 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. Destroyed on account of its pride (Jeremiah 48:29-47 ) With these divisions the chapter may be studied in detail. Moab was of incestuous off spring Genesis 19:37 . Israel is now exhorted to flee and save itself because Moab is to be destroyed. Moab’s national deity was Chemosh, who was also worshipped by the sister... read more

Joseph Parker

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 48:12-46

It would swell our Commentary to a length indeed, to enter minutely into the several branches of the visitations here set forth. Indeed it would only when done, tend to confirm what hardly needs further confirmation. God's foes must be accounted with, and destruction must overtake all the workers of iniquity. Moab as well as the Philistines, and all that oppose God in his purposes, will finally perish. That one blessed declaration sums up and answers all: my counsel shall stand, and I will do... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:14-47

14-47. The destruction of Moab is further prophesied, to awaken them by national repentance and reformation to prevent the trouble, or by a personal repentance and reformation to prepare for it. In reading this long roll of threatenings, and mediating on the terror, it will be of more use to us to keep in view the power of God's anger and the terror of his judgments, and to have our hearts possessed with a holy awe of God and of his wrath, than to search into all the figures and expressions... read more
