Jeremiah 48:24 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:24

And upon Kerioth
Which once belonged to the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:25 ) ; from this place Judas Iscariot is by some thought to have his name; as if it was "Ish Kerioth", "a man of Kerioth". Grotius takes it to be the Goiratha of Ptolemy: and upon Bozrah;
not in Idumea, but in Moab; the same with Bezer, ( Joshua 21:36 ) ; and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, for and near;
all the rest of the cities not named, whether nearer or farther off from Aroer.

Jeremiah 48:24 In-Context

22 Divon, N'vo, Beit-Diblatayim,

23 Kiryatayim, Beit-Gamul, Beit-M'on,

24 K'riot, Botzrah and all the cities in the land of Mo'av, far and near.

25 "Mo'av's strength is cut down, his arm is broken," says ADONAI.

26 Because Mo'av boasted against ADONAI, make him so drunk that he wallows in his own vomit and becomes a laughingstock.
