エレミヤ書 48:2 JC

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 48:2

Heshbon was formerly the city of Sihon, Numbers 21:26; it became afterward one of the principal cities of the Moabites, as appeareth from Isaiah 15:4; which maketh the learned author of our English Annotations think our translation not so good; for why should they devise evil in Heshbon against Moab, unless the enemies sat there in council, when they had taken it, against the other parts of the country? But possibly the sense is, they shall no more in Heshbon magnify Moab, or Moab shall no more... 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.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:2

2. No more praise of Moab Literally, the boasting of Moab is gone. In Heshbon they have devised evil Heshbon was the chief city on the border, about ten Roman miles east of the Jordan, opposite Jericho. “Heshbon” literally means devising. Hence there is here a play upon the word. In the following clause, also, there is a similar play on the term. read more
