エレミヤ書 48:4 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 48:4

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 Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:4

Verse 4 The Prophet speaks again generally of the whole country. It is said that the land of Moab was afflicted; not that it was so then; but to make certain the prophecy, he speaks of the event as having already taken place; for the prophets, as it is well known, speaking in the person of God, relate things as yet hidden, as though they had been completed. He says that the little ones of Moab so cried as to be heard. (5) This is much more emphatic than if he had said that men and women cried... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-8

The prophet foresees the calamity of Moab, and the attendant confusion and dismay. Yes; flee, save your lives, if ye can; for your confidences have proved untrustworthy; there is no hope left. 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 48:4

Moab is destroyed. The mention of Moab in the midst of towns is certainly surprising. We should expect Ar-Moab. Her little ones . The received text, as it stands, is untranslatable, and our choice lies between the correction suggested by the vowel points, and the reading of the Septuagint and a few of the extant Hebrew manuscripts, "unto Zoar." In favour of the latter, which is adopted by Ewald and Graf, it may he urged that Zoar and Horenaim are mentioned together, not only in Jeremiah... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 48:2-6

Jeremiah 48:2-6. There shall be no more praise of Moab The glory of Moab shall be contemned, as Isaiah speaks, Isaiah 16:14. Every thing for which it was famous shall be destroyed. In Heshbon they have devised evil against it Heshbon was the capital city of the Moabites: when the Chaldeans made themselves masters of Heshbon, a place of great importance, they consulted how to carry on their conquests over the rest of the country. Thou shalt be cut down, or, brought to silence, Isaiah... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:1-47

A message concerning Moab (48:1-47)Moab was one nation that tried to form an alliance with Judah against Babylon (see 27:1-3). Moab will now suffer Babylon’s anger. Jeremiah pictures the scene: the land devastated, fortresses smashed, cities destroyed, people crying out in distress, refugees fleeing from the invading armies (48:1-6).Chemosh, Moab’s national god, cannot save the nation. Rather, it will be taken into captivity along with Moab’s civil and religious leaders. The towns of Moab will... read more
