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

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 48:1-15

The Coming Devastation of Moab Described v. 1. Against Moab. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto Nebo! an important city in Southwestern Moabitis. For it is spoiled, laid waste by the enemies; Kiriathaim, another ancient city of the country, is confounded and taken; Misgab, literally, "the citadel," probably Kir-Moab, the strongest fort of the Moabites, or a general expression denoting the overthrow of Moab's power, is confounded and dismayed. v. 2. There shall be no... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 48:1-47

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-13

The Destruction of Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-13 ). Note how, as in Isaiah 15:0, the towns and prominent places are mentioned by name. Some of them were towns that had been taken over from Israel (compare Mesha’s account of his conquests above referring to Nebo and Horonaim). Now these trophies will be theirs no more. Jeremiah 48:1 ‘Of Moab. Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Of Moab.’ A plain and succint heading indicating the country in mind in the prophecy. YHWH is then identified by... read more

Peter Pett

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

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-10

Jeremiah 48. Moab (the territory E. of the Dead Sea, from Wady Kerak in the S. to the neighbourhood of Heshbon in the N.). Many of the numerous places named in this prophecy will be found on G. A. Smith’ s map, though some of his identifications are disputable; others such as Misgah ( Jeremiah 48:1) are quite unknown. Much of this chapter is almost certainly later than Jeremiah, as it incorporates parts of Isaiah 15 f. (note mgg.) , an elegy apparently of the fifth century. Jeremiah 48:1-2... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 48:5

Of Luhith we read only in this place, and Isaiah 15:5; it was a city of Moab, and situated upon a hill, as appears both here and where it is mentioned in Isaiah. Some think that to this city the Moabites fled for sanctuary from the Chaldeans, and fleeing made so great an outcry that their enemies who pursued them heard their cry. read more
