Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 48:43-44
Escape would be unavoidable. If a person escaped one form of judgment, another one would get him. The Lord’s devices would trap the people just as certainly as hunters used terror, pits, and snares to capture animals. This would happen at the Lord’s appointed time. The three snares all begin with the same letters in Hebrew, forming a triple assonance. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47
Against MoabMoab, in recompense for its pride and security, and for its triumphing over Israel in the day of her calamity, shall itself be laid waste and taken captive: cp. the ’burden of Moab ’in Isaiah 15, 16.1. Nebo] not the mountain, but the Reubenite town (Numbers 32:38), which had been annexed by Mesha, king of Moab (about 895 b.c.), according to the ’Moabite Stone ’records. Several places mentioned in this chapter have not been certainly identified. 2. Heshbon] an Ammonite town on the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 48:43
(43)Fear, and the pit, and the snare.—The words are a reproduction of Isaiah 24:17, which had probably passed into something like proverbial use. The sequence in each case shows that each word plays a distinct part in the imagery. First there is the terror of the animal pursued by huntsmen, then the pit dug in the earth that it may fall into it (Psalms 7:15; Proverbs 26:27; Ecclesiastes 10:8); then, if it scrambles out of the pit, the snare or trap which finally secures it. read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47
CHAPTER 48 Concerning Moab 1. The overthrow of Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-10 ) 2. The humiliation of Moab (Jeremiah 48:11-19 ) 3. Reaping what they sowed (Jeremiah 48:20-28 ) 4. Destroyed on account of its pride (Jeremiah 48:29-47 ) With these divisions the chapter may be studied in detail. Moab was of incestuous off spring Genesis 19:37 . Israel is now exhorted to flee and save itself because Moab is to be destroyed. Moab’s national deity was Chemosh, who was also worshipped by the sister... 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
