エレミヤ書 48:43-44 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 48:14-47

The destruction is here further prophesied of very largely and with a great copiousness and variety of expression, and very pathetically and in moving language, designed not only to awaken them by a national repentance and reformation to prevent the trouble, or by a personal repentance and reformation to prepare for it, but to affect us with the calamitous state of human life, which is liable to such lamentable occurrences, and with the power of God's anger and the terror of his judgments,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:43

Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee ,.... A proverbial expression, showing, that if they escaped one danger, or sore judgment, they should fall into another and greater: the words seem to be taken from Isaiah 24:17 ; See Gill on Isaiah 24:17 ; O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord ; what in the prophecy of Isaiah is said of the inhabitants of the earth in general, is here applied to the inhabitants of Moab in particular. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:44

He that fleeth from the fear ,.... From terrible enemies he is afraid of, and dares not face them, but flees, in order to escape them: shall fall into the pit ; into some misfortune or another: and he that getteth out of the pit shall be taken in the snare ; laid by the enemy for him, and so shall fall into his hands. Sanctius very ingeniously observes that the allusion is to the hunting of deer, and such like creatures; when first a line of feathers of various colours is placed to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:43

Verse 43 By these words the Prophet skews, that though the Moabites should adopt many means of escape, yet they should be taken, for God’s hand would everywhere entrap them. He mentions terror first, then the pit, and thirdly, the snare, (24) that is, “Thou wilt be so frightened that terror will compel thee to flee; but when thou fleest, pits will be in the way into which thou wilt fall: but if thou wilt rise from the pit, snares will surround thee, and thou wilt be taken.” We then see that by... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:44

Verse 44 Now all this has not been expressed without reason, because we know with how many flatteries men are wont to delude themselves when God summons them to judgment; for they immediately look around here and there, and promise themselves impunity, and then they hope for light punishment, as though they were at peace with God. But the unbelieving harden themselves, as Isaiah says, as though they had made a covenant with death and a compact with hell. (Isaiah 28:15.) As, then, the wicked set... 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 48:43

Fear, and the pit, and the snare. An alliteration in the Hebrew, which occurs again in Isaiah 24:17 . In German it can be represented better than in English— e.g. by Hitzig's "grauen, graben, garn." All primitive poetry delights in such alliterations. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 48:43-44

No ultimate escape. I. THERE ARE TEMPORARY EVASIONS OF DOOM . As there are great varieties of wickedness, so there is also great variety in the consequences of it. Sometimes the visitation is sudden, quick, and terrible, as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira. But oftener men go on sinning with no bad consequences to themselves, so far as appearance goes. They do not lose health; they do not seem to lose reputation; there are no checks in their success; and perhaps they even... read more
