The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 48:16-35

Moab's Glory Followed by its Deep Fall v. 16. The calamity of Moab is near to come, so that destruction will soon overtake him, and his affliction hasteth fast, his misfortune coming on apace, with great speed. v. 17. All ye that are about him, all his neighbors, bemoan him, and all ye that know his name, those living at a distance and knowing only the fame of Moab, say, How is the strong staff broken and the beautiful rod! The breaking of Moab's scepter of beauty and splendor signifies the... read more

5. Prophecy Against Moab (chap. 48)Although Israel had received the command by Moses, not to oppress or make war on the Moabites (Deuteronomy 2:9), the Moabites on their part acted in a most hostile manner towards Israel, and according to Balaam’s counsel (Numbers 31:17), did them greater injury by seducing them to idolatry, than they could have done with weapons of war. In consequence of the command given by Moses, the Israelites took possession of none, of the country of the Moabites, but the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47

The word of the Lord concerning Moab is a judgment, which nevertheless closes with a gleam of hope. The judgment is described, first, from the standpoint of the scourge. The widespread extent of it is foretold, and the diction and helplessness are graphically set forth. The judgment is then spoken of from the standpoint of Moab, that is to say, the long security of Moab and his freedom from affliction are recognized, as is also his self-confidence. In contrast with this, the judgment is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47

D). Prophecy Against Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-47 ). Whilst the Philistines were a constant trouble to Israel/Judah from the west, mainly troubling western Israel/Judah, eastern Israel/Judah, especially east of Jordan, suffered constantly at the hands of Moab when it was strong. Moab was situated east of the Dead Sea. This was partly due to the fact that in the time of Moses Israel had occupied territory which Moab saw as its own, territory which had been taken from Moab by the Ammonites prior to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:14-28

The Humbling Of Moab And Judgment On Her Cities (Jeremiah 48:14-28 ). Jeremiah 48:14-15 “How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, And valiant men for the war?’ Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, And his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, The word of the King, Whose name is YHWH of hosts.” In their complacency the people of Moab trusted in their armed forces, in their champions and in their men of valour. They had no doubt that they could cope with anything.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:20-28

Jeremiah 48:20-Hosea : . Enumeration of the cities which are to suffer ( Jeremiah 48:20-:). The strength of Moab is destroyed, and Moab is become drunken (with the cup of Yahweh, Jeremiah 25:15), an object of present derision, as Israel formerly was to Moab, when Israel was treated as a detected thief ( Jeremiah 2:26). Let the Moabites seek refuge like the dove in the inaccessible crannies of some ravine. Jeremiah 48:20 ff. Several of these sites are unknown; Bozrah is not the Edomite city of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—Naegelsbach suggests, with ample justification, that “this prophecy certainly belongs to the time of Jehoiakim, and before the fourth year, the Chaldeans and Nebuchadnezzar not being mentioned;” and adds: “The form of the superscription favours its contemporaneousness with the first prophecy against Egypt (Jeremiah 46:1-2).” Cf. notes on chap. 25.2. Contemporary Scriptures.—Cf. on chap. 25. Here it is appropriate to point out that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 48:1-47

Jeremiah 48:1 . Against Moab, saith the Lord. Isaiah had prophesied of the devastation of Moab by Salmaneser: chap. 15, 16. Jeremiah here speaks of the terrible conquest of the country by Nebuchadnezzar, which, according to Josephus, happened five years after the fall of Jerusalem. It was Messiah, the eternal Word, that gave the prophet his commission on this occasion, and inspired him with an elegy on the doom of Moab, an elegy of incomparable beauty, that it might be read with interest in... read more
