Jeremiah 48:32

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 48:31-33

Jeremiah 48:31-33. Therefore will I howl for Moab See note on Isaiah 15:5. I will cry out for all Moab The whole country of Moab: the phrase is the same with whole Palestina, Isaiah 14:31. For the men of Kirheres See note on Isaiah 16:7; Isaiah 16:11. O vine of Sibmah The expressions here denote the destruction of the fruitful vineyards of Sibmah; the loss of which the neighbouring places of Jazer would have reason to lament. Thy plants are gone over the sea The vineyards of Sibmah... 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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 48:32

32. with the weeping—with the same weeping as Jazer, now vanquished, wept with for the destruction of its vines. The same calamity shall befall thee, Sibmah, as befell Jazer. The Hebrew preposition here is different from that in Isaiah 16:9, for which reason MAURER translates, "with more than the weeping of Jazer." English Version understands it of the continuation of the weeping; after they have wept for Jazer, fresh subject of lamentation will present itself for the wasting of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 48:31-33

The prophet would mourn over Moab’s fate, and for the fate of her people, even more than people had wept over the fate of the fall of the town of Jazar. The Israelites had taken Jazar, a town 10 miles north of Heshbon, during their conquest of Transjordan (cf. Numbers 21:32). Apparently the mourning over that destruction, or a subsequent one, had become proverbial.Moab was proud of its vineyards and fruit trees. Jeremiah compared the destruction to come to the cutting back of Moab’s renowned... 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 48:32

(32) O vine of Sibmah.—Here again we have an echo of Isaiah 16:9. Sibmah appears in Joshua 13:19 as assigned to the Reubenites, in the region east of Jordan. After that date it does not appear again till we find it in these prophetic notices. Jerome (Comm. in Isa. Jeremiah 5:0) names it as a strong city about half a mile from Heshbon, but its site has not been identified by modern travellers. It would appear from these notices to have been famous for vineyards that extended to Jazer. The city... read more
