The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Jeremiah 48:1-47

The History of Moab the History of Mankind Jer 48:25 This chapter is full of Moab. We take next to no interest in Moab, the son of Lot; he is not one of the choice figures of history; yet, like many a land little known, there are wonderful surprises for those who will penetrate the history and study its meaning. Moab is a large word: it means not a man only, but a nation large, haughty, and powerful; and it is in this view that we must now interpret its continual significance. The relations... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 48:12-46

It would swell our Commentary to a length indeed, to enter minutely into the several branches of the visitations here set forth. Indeed it would only when done, tend to confirm what hardly needs further confirmation. God's foes must be accounted with, and destruction must overtake all the workers of iniquity. Moab as well as the Philistines, and all that oppose God in his purposes, will finally perish. That one blessed declaration sums up and answers all: my counsel shall stand, and I will do... read more

14-47. The destruction of Moab is further prophesied, to awaken them by national repentance and reformation to prevent the trouble, or by a personal repentance and reformation to prepare for it. In reading this long roll of threatenings, and mediating on the terror, it will be of more use to us to keep in view the power of God's anger and the terror of his judgments, and to have our hearts possessed with a holy awe of God and of his wrath, than to search into all the figures and expressions... read more

Lamentation over Moab v. 36. Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, sighing with the wailing sound of the flute, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres, the chief stronghold of Moab, because the riches that he hath gotten are perished, literally, "because the remnant that they had gained, perished. " Because the judgment of destruction had struck Moab, therefore his heart was wailing so bitterly, and therefore also the wealth of Moab was lost. v. 37.... read more

5. Prophecy Against Moab (chap. 48)Although Israel had received the command by Moses, not to oppress or make war on the Moabites (Deuteronomy 2:9), the Moabites on their part acted in a most hostile manner towards Israel, and according to Balaam’s counsel (Numbers 31:17), did them greater injury by seducing them to idolatry, than they could have done with weapons of war. In consequence of the command given by Moses, the Israelites took possession of none, of the country of the Moabites, but the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 48:1-47

The word of the Lord concerning Moab is a judgment, which nevertheless closes with a gleam of hope. The judgment is described, first, from the standpoint of the scourge. The widespread extent of it is foretold, and the diction and helplessness are graphically set forth. The judgment is then spoken of from the standpoint of Moab, that is to say, the long security of Moab and his freedom from affliction are recognized, as is also his self-confidence. In contrast with this, the judgment is... read more

D). Prophecy Against Moab (Jeremiah 48:1-47 ). Whilst the Philistines were a constant trouble to Israel/Judah from the west, mainly troubling western Israel/Judah, eastern Israel/Judah, especially east of Jordan, suffered constantly at the hands of Moab when it was strong. Moab was situated east of the Dead Sea. This was partly due to the fact that in the time of Moses Israel had occupied territory which Moab saw as its own, territory which had been taken from Moab by the Ammonites prior to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 48:39-46

The Coming Judgment On Moab And Its Final Restoration (Jeremiah 48:39-46 ). In its pride Moab considered itself invulnerable and well able to take care of itself. It exalted its own god, Chemosh, above YHWH as it arrogantly surveyed what had happened to Judah/Israel. But its very pride led to it refusing tribute to Babylon, with the consequences which followed. When men become too confident in themselves they are heading for a downfall. It may be delayed, but it will come. And if we put... read more
