エレミヤ書 48:11-12 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-13

We may observe in these verses, I. The author of Moab's destruction; it is the Lord of hosts, that has armies, all armies, at his command, and the God of Israel (Jer. 48:1), who will herein plead the cause of his Israel against a people that have always been vexatious to them, and will punish them now for the injuries done to Israel of old, though Israel was forbidden to meddle with them (Deut. 2:9), therefore the destruction of Moab is called the work of the Lord (Jer. 48:10), for it is he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:11

Moab hath been at ease from his youth ,.... Lived in great peace and prosperity from the time they became a kingdom; being very little disturbed with wars by their neighbours, or very rarely; so that they were in very prosperous and flourishing circumstances, which occasioned that pride and haughtiness they were notorious for. This is an emblem of unregenerate men; who, though sinners from their birth, and liable to the curse of the law, subject to the stroke of death, and must come to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:12

Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord ,.... This being their case, they should not continue in it; a change would be made, and that in a very short time, as there was; for, according to Josephus F16 Antiqu. l. 10. c. 9. sect. 7. , it was about five years after the destruction of Jerusalem that the Moabites were subdued by the king of Babylon: that I will send unto him wanderers that shall cause him to wander ; the Chaldeans, who wandered out of their own country to Moab,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:11

Moab hath been at ease - The metaphor here is taken from the mode of preserving wines. They let them rest upon their lees for a considerable time, as this improves them both in strength and flavour; and when this is sufficiently done, they rack, or pour them off into other vessels. Moab had been very little molested by war since he was a nation; he had never gone out of his own land. Though some had been carried away by Shalmaneser forty years before this, he has had neither wars nor... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:12

I will send unto him wanderers that shall cause him to wander - Dr. Blayney renders צעים tsaim , tilters; those who elevate one end of the wine cask when nearly run out that the remains of the liquor may be the more effectually drawn off at the cock. And this seems to be well supported by the following words, - And shall empty his vessels - I will send such as will carry the whole nation into captivity. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:11

Verse 11 Here he expresses more clearly what we have before seen, that Moab in vain promised to himself perpetual impunity, because he had for a long time been prosperous. Then the Prophet says that he would be suddenly destroyed, when God ascended his tribunal to execute his judgment. He first says, that he had been quiet from his childhood, because when the Israelites had been often harassed, that nation remained untouched, and never felt any disadvantage, as though fortified on all sides by... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:12

Verse 12 The Prophet said in the last lecture that the Moabites, as long as they lived prosperously, were very hardened, as impunity becomes an incentive to sin; for the ungodly, while God spares them, think that they shall never be called to an account. He now adds, that the days would come, in which God would suddenly execute vengeance on them. But he pursues the comparison which he had used; for he had said, that the Moabites were like wine which had not been poured from one vessel into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

1 . Jeremiah 48:29-38 recur in Isaiah 16:6-10 ; Isaiah 15:4 , Isaiah 15:5 , Isaiah 15:6 ; Isaiah 16:12 , Isaiah 16:11 ; Isaiah 15:2 , Isaiah 15:3 ; not, indeed, without many peculiarities, and those peculiarities are so striking, and so little in harmony with Jeremiah's usual mode of using his predecessor's writings, that some have held that verses 29-38 were inserted by one of Jeremiah's readers. 2 . Verses 43, 44 so closely resemble Isaiah 24:17 , Isaiah 24:18 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

The judgment of Moab. As the prophet's "eye in a fine frenzy rolling" sees the flood of the Chaldean invasion sweeping over one after another of the nations, his words flash out in pictures full of energy and fire. If this world's calamities are thus terrible, how shall the awful realities of eternity be contemplated? Why should some of us be so shocked at the strong language of preachers? Strange and fanatical as it may appear, the fury of a Knox is more consonant with much of life and... 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
