耶利米書 48:18-25 RCUVTS

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 48:18

Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon ,.... A city in Moab; See Gill on Isaiah 15:2 . The Targum is, "O kingdom of the congregation of Dibon;' but this was not a kingdom of itself, though a principal city in the kingdom of Moab: come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst ; in a dry and thirsty land; in want of all the necessaries of life; in captivity; who before abounded with all good things, inhabiting a well watered and fruitful soil; see Isaiah 15:9 ; but now called to... read more

O inhabitant of Aroer ,.... Another city that belonged to Moab, situated on the border of it towards Ammon, near the river Arnon; See Gill on Isaiah 17:2 ; stand by the way, and espy ; get to the road side where travellers pass, and look out for them: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth ; whether man or woman you see fleeing, having escaped the army of the Chaldeans: and say, what is done ? by the Chaldeans; ask what cities they have taken; what progress they have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:20

Moab is confounded, for it is broken down ,.... This is the answer returned, by those that had escaped and were fleeing, to those who inquired of them; who report that the whole country of Moab was in the utmost confusion and consternation; not being able to stand before the enemy, who broke down and destroyed all that was in his way: and therefore calls upon them to howl and cry ; because of the general ruin at the nation, and who must expect themselves to share the same fate; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:21

And judgment is come upon the plain country ,.... Of Moab, which was for the most part such, especially that which lay near Arnon; the judgment of God's vengeance, punishment for sin, by the hand of the Chaldeans. The Targum is, "they that execute vengeance are come:' upon Holon ; a city of Moab; of which see Joshua 15:51 ; it had its name perhaps from the sandy ground on which it stood. Grotius takes it to be the Alabana of Ptolemy: and upon Jahazah : the same with Jahaz; see... read more

And upon Kirjathaim ,.... Of which see Jeremiah 48:1 ; and upon Bethgamul ; this is nowhere else mentioned in Scripture; supposed by Grotius to be the Maccala of Ptolemy, put for Camala: and upon Bethmeon : of which see Isaiah 15:2 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:24

And upon Kerioth ,.... Which once belonged to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:25 ; from this place Judas Iscariot is by some thought to have his name; as if it was "Ish Kerioth", "a man of Kerioth". Grotius takes it to be the Goiratha of Ptolemy: and upon Bozrah ; not in Idumea, but in Moab; the same with Bezer, Joshua 21:36 ; and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, for and near ; all the rest of the cities not named, whether nearer or farther off from Aroer. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:25

The horn of Moab is cut off ,.... The kingdom of Moab, high and strong, his power and strength, by which he defended himself, and offended others, as a beast with his horns; his powerful kingdom, and the glory of it: and his arm is broken, saith the Lord ; so that he cannot hold a sword, or manage any weapon of war against the enemy, or do anything to annoy him, or in his own defence. The Targum is, "the kingdom of Moab is cut off, and their rulers are broken, saith the Lord;' and so... read more
