エレミヤ書 48:1-10 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:7

The dangers of riches. Riches are not evil things in themselves. The gifts of God in nature, or the fruits of man's industry, they are valuable just because they have in them some serviceableness for human wants. Money is not the root of all evil, but the love of it ( 1 Timothy 6:10 ). It is they who trust in riches who find it impossible to enter into the kingdom of God ( Mark 10:24 ). But riches are snares, and the possessor of them had need beware of the dangers they necessarily... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:7

The consequence of a wrong confidence. I. THE CAPTURE WAS THEIR OWN FAULT . Not all capture is so. There may be a going into durance for conscience' sake; there may be the necessary surrender to superior strength; the captured one may be the victim for a time to the unscrupulous selfishness of others. We must be careful not to draw rash conclusions from suffering to sin; for therein we may be adding suffering to suffering. As a rule, when suffering comes from sin, the sufferer... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:8

The valley … the plain. The latter (Hebrew, mishor ) is the upland region which extends from the Jordan eastward of Jericho into the Arabian desert; in Numbers 21:20 it is called the "field" ( i.e. "open country") of Moab. The former means that part of the Jordan valley which borders on this upland "plain" towards the west. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:9-16

So sudden is the blow that Moab stands in need of wings to make good his escape. Were the human instrument to delay, the curse meant for Moab would come upon himself. Is a reason demanded? It is that Moab has long been in a state of morally perilous security, and requires to be thoroughly shaken and aroused, in order that he may discover the inability of Chemosh to help his worshippers. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:10

Slack service. "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord slackly." These words refer immediately to the terrible work of destruction. We shudder at hearing so fearful a curse; but we should remember that, if the slaughter were believed to be in accordance with God's will, and therefore also believed to be right and necessary, there could be no excuse for neglecting it. We may derive from this extreme instance most forcible argument against slack service. If such slackness could... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:10

Doing the work of the Lord deceitfully. We observe— I. THE WORK OF THE LORD IS OF VARIED KINDS . Here it has reference to the vengeance to be taken on Moab, and denounces a curse on that soldier who failed to do his duty in the most thorough and terrible manner. No pity, no motive of any kind, was to lead them to spare the doomed nation. But whilst such dread work may be at times the work of the Lord, the expression more commonly points to that which is spiritual, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:10

Doing the work of Jehovah deceitfully. I. THE ENTRUSTING OF JEHOVAH 'S WORK TO THE HANDS OF MEN . Here is a great work of judgment, and Jehovah effects such works either through operations of his own or through agents to whom he makes the awful duty evident. What he has done himself is sufficiently illustrated in many terrible visitations recorded in the Old Testament; nor is there entire absence of such a record in the New. But men have also been called to visit upon... read more
