Jeremiah 48:25

25 Moab's might has been crushed; its power has been destroyed. I, the Lord, have spoken."

Jeremiah 48:25 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:25

The horn of Moab is cut off
The kingdom of Moab, high and strong, his power and strength, by which he defended himself, and offended others, as a beast with his horns; his powerful kingdom, and the glory of it: and his arm is broken, saith the Lord;
so that he cannot hold a sword, or manage any weapon of war against the enemy, or do anything to annoy him, or in his own defence. The Targum is,

``the kingdom of Moab is cut off, and their rulers are broken, saith the Lord;''

and so Ben Melech interprets it of his princes, and his armies, which were the arm of the king, and of the people.
