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

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 48:13

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh ,.... His idol; see Jeremiah 48:7 ; of his worship of him, prayers to him, and confidence in him; he not being able to save him from the destruction of the Chaldeans, and being carried captive by them; he himself also going into captivity: as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel their confidence ; that is, of the golden calf that was set up in Bethel by Jeroboam, and which the ten tribes of Israel worshipped, and in which they trusted; but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:14

How say ye, we are mighty and strong men for the war? The Moabites were proud, haughty, and arrogant; boasted much of their strength and valour; of the strength of their bodies, and fitness for war, and skill in it; and of the strength of their fortified cities; and thought themselves a match for the enemy, and secure from all danger: for this their pride, vanity, and self-confidence, they are here reproved, since their destruction was at hand. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:15

Moab is spoiled ,.... The whole country is ruined; which is spoken of as present, though future, after the manner of prophecy, because of the certainty of it: and gone up out of her cities ; the inhabitants of Moab were gone up out of their cities, either through fear and flight; or through force, being made to go out of them, and were carried captive. The Targum is, "the Moabites are spoiled, and their cities are desolate;' and so Kimchi interprets it, "the multitude of her... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:16

The calamity of Moab is near to come ,.... As it did come within live years after the destruction of Jerusalem, as observed on Jeremiah 48:12 ; out of Josephus: and his affliction hasteth fast : or, "his evil" F26 רעתו "malum ejus", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Schmidt. the evil of punishment for his sin; his utter destruction. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:17

All ye that are about him, bemoan him ,.... The neighbouring nations, such as the Ammonites, and others, are called upon to condole the sad case of Moab; all upon the borders of the country of Moab, either within them or without them: and all ye that know his name ; not only that had heard of his fame and glory, but knew in what grandeur and splendour he lived; these have a form of condolence given them: say, how is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod ! the mighty men of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:13

Verse 13 We may see more clearly from this verse, that the Prophet does not so much address the Moabites as his own people; for he was not a teacher to the Moabites to promote their safety; on the contrary, he intended his doctrine for the benefit of the Jews, as in the present instance. Ashamed, he says, shall Moab be of his idol: for we have said that Chemosh was the god of the Moabites, as every nation had its own peculiar god, even its own invention. Now, the comparison made here shews... read more
