Jeremías 48:31 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:31

Therefore will I howl for Moab
The prophet, being as a man affected with the miseries of a people very wicked, and so deserving of them; though indeed by this he does not so much design to express the affections of his own heart, as to show what reason the Moabites would have to howl for the calamities of their country; for, as Kimchi observes, the prophet here speaks in the person of the people of Moab; see ( Isaiah 16:7 ) ; and I will cry out for all Moab;
the whole country of Moab, which should become desolate: [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres;
the same with Kirhareseth, a city of Moab, ( Isaiah 16:7 ) ; whose foundations should be sapped, the city taken, and the men of it put to the sword, or caused to flee; and their case being deplorable, the prophet says his heart should mourn for them like a dove, as Kimchi and Jarchi observe; though it may be rendered, "he shall mourn" ^F7; that is, Moab; for the destruction of such a principal city, and the men of it. The Targum renders it,

``for the men of the city of their strength.''

Jeremías 48:31 In-Context

29 Hemos oído del orgullo de Moab (es muy orgulloso), de su soberbia, de su orgullo, de su arrogancia y de su altivez.

30 Yo conozco su cóleradeclara el SEÑOR pero es inútil; sus vanas jactancias nada consiguen.

31 Por tanto, gemiré por Moab, sí, por todo Moab clamaré; sollozaré por los hombres de Kir-hares.

32 Más que el llanto por Jazer lloraré por ti, viña de Sibma. Tus sarmientos pasaron el mar, llegaron hasta el mar de Jazer; sobre tus frutos de verano y sobre tu vendimia ha caído el destructor,

33 y fueron quitados la alegría y el regocijo del campo fértil, de la tierra de Moab. He hecho que se acabe el vino de los lagares; nadie con gritos los pisará, y si hay gritos no serán gritos de júbilo.
