エレミヤ書 48:2-6 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 48:2

There shall be no more praise of Moab ,.... It shall be no more commended for a rich, populous, and fruitful country, being now laid waste; though the next phrase, in Heshbon , or "concerning Heshbon" F2 אין עוד תהלת מואב בחשבון "nulla amplius gloriatio Moab in Chesbon", Calvin; "non ultra laus, Moab in Chesbon", Montanus; to the same purpose Vatablus. , should be read in connection with this; and then the sense is, there shall be none any more in Heshbon to praise the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:3

A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim ,.... Another city of Moab. The word is of the dual number; and, according to Kimchi and Ben Melech, there were two Horons, the upper and the lower; of this place See Gill on Isaiah 15:5 ; this also should be destroyed; and so a cry of the inhabitants of it should be heard out of it: spoiling, and great destruction ; because the city was spoiled, and a great destruction made in the inhabitants and riches of it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:4

Moab is destroyed ,.... Either the whole nation in general; so the Targum, "the kingdom of Moab is broken;' and so Abarbinel; or a city so called, which some take to be the city Areopolis. Jerom F7 De locis Heb. fol. 87. H. & 93. B. says, that Moab is a city of Arabia, now called Areopolis; and which also has the name of Rabbathmoab, or "grand Moab"; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard ; seeing their parents killed, and they left desolate, and in the hands of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:5

For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up ,.... This is another city, which was built on a high hill, which had a considerable ascent to it, whither those that escaped from Horonaim might flee for safety; but as they went up the hill would weep bitterly, and all the way they went, because of the loss of friends and sustenance, and the danger they themselves were still in. Of this place See Gill on Isaiah 15:5 ; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:6

Flee, save your lives ,.... These are either the words of the Moabites, their cry of destruction mentioned in the latter part of Jeremiah 48:5 ; who, seeing nothing but ruin before their eyes, advise one another to flee in all haste, and save their lives if possible, since nothing else could be saved: or else they are the words of the prophet, giving counsel to the Moabites to betake themselves to flight for the safety of their lives, these being in great danger; so Abarbinel; with whom... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:2

No more praise of Moab - "The glory of Moab, that it had never been conquered," (Dahler), is now at an end. Dr. Blayney translates: - "Moab shall have no more glorying in Heshbon; They have devised evil against her (saying.)" And this most certainly is the best translation of the original. He has marked also a double paronomasia in this and the next verse, a figure in which the prophets delight; חשבו בחשבון becheshbon chashebu "in Cheshbon they have devised," and תדמי מדמן madmen... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:3

Horonaim - Another city of Moab, near to Luhith. At this latter place the hill country of Moab commenced. "It is a place," says Dahler, "situated upon a height between Areopolis and Zoar." read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:6

Flee, save your lives - The enemy is in full pursuit of you. Be like the heath - כערוער caaroer , "like Aroer;" which some take for a city, others for a blasted or withered tree. It is supposed that a place of this name lay towards the north, in the land of the Ammonites, on a branch of the river Jabbok; surrounded by deserts. Save yourselves by getting into the wilderness, where the pursuing foe will scarcely think it worth his while to follow you, as the wilderness itself must soon... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:2

Verse 2 The Prophet, as before, does not speak in an ordinary way, but declares in lofty terms what God had committed to him, in order that he might terrify the Moabites; not indeed that they heard his threatenings, but it was necessary that he should denounce vengeance in this vehement manner, that the Jews might know that the cruelty and pride of the Moabites, hereafter mentioned, would not go unpunished. Hence he says, No more shall be the praise or the boasting of Moab over Heshbon We may... read more
