Jeremiah 48:26,Jeremiah 48:27

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 48:26

Make ye him drunken; either make ye him to stagger like a drunken man, (the cause being put for the effect,) or fill him with the intoxicating wine cup of God’s vengeance, with the effects of God’s wrath. For he magnified himself against the Lord; because of his pride, and exalting himself against the Lord, as if he had been stronger than he, and so ont of the reach of God’s power. Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision: as drunken men vomit, and stagger, and... 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

Joseph Sutcliffe

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

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:26

THE CONTRAST, Jeremiah 48:26-47. 26. Make ye him drunken, etc. This commission is addressed to those who execute God’s vengeance on Moab. For his haughtiness and arrogance are appointed shame and disgrace. Moab is a laughing-stock because Israel was a derision to her, as is said in Jeremiah 48:27. read more
