Jeremias 48:29 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:29

We have heard the pride of Moab
Israel, and all the nations round about, had heard of this, and seen or heard of many instances of it; the thing was notorious; according to Kimchi, it is the prophet that here speaks in the name of the nations; but it seems best to understand it of the Lord himself, as appears from the ( Jeremiah 48:30 ) ; and who here speaks in the plural number, because of the plurality of persons in the Godhead; as he afterwards does in the singular number, to denote the unity of the divine essence: (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his
pride, and the haughtiness of his heart;
a heap of words to express the same thing; suggesting that the instances of his pride were many, and that it was exceeding great indeed: these many words were little enough; and indeed words were wanting fully to declare it. The same was observed in Isaiah's time, and in much the same language; only more words are here used, to show that his pride was increased since that time; see ( Isaiah 16:6 ) .

Jeremias 48:29 In-Context

27 Pois não se tornou também Israel objeto de escárnio para ti? Porventura foi achado entre ladrões para que, sempre que falas dele, meneies a cabeça?

28 Deixai as cidades, e habitai no rochedo, ó moradores de Moabe; e sede como a pomba que se aninha nos lados da boca da caverna.

29 Temos ouvido da soberba de Moabe, que é soberbíssimo; da sua sobrançaria, do seu orgulho, da sua arrogância, e da altivez do seu coração.

30 Eu conheço, diz o Senhor, a sua insolência, mas isso nada é; as suas jactâncias nada têm efetuado.

31 Por isso uivarei por Moabe; sim, gritarei por todo o Moabe; pelos homens de Quir-Heres lamentarei.
