Jérémie 48:41

41 Kerijoth est prise, Les forteresses sont emportées, Et le coeur des héros de Moab est en ce jour Comme le coeur d'une femme en travail.

Jérémie 48:41 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:41

Kerioth is taken
The name of a city in Moab, as in ( Jeremiah 48:24 ) ; so Jarchi, and others; but Kimchi and Abarbinel observe, that it may be taken for an appellative, and be rendered "the cities"; everyone of the cities of Moab, which were as easily and quickly taken as one city; these may intend the cities in the plain, as the strong holds those in high places: and the strong holds are surprised;
everyone of them; so that there was not a city, or a fortified place, but what came into the enemies' hands: and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart
of a woman in her pangs;
even the hearts of the soldiers, and the most courageous generals, shall sink within them; and they be not only as timorous as women in common, but as low spirited as a woman when she finds her pains are coming upon her, and the time of her delivery is at hand.

Jérémie 48:41 In-Context

39 Comme il est brisé! Poussez des gémissements! Comme Moab tourne honteusement le dos! Moab devient un objet de raillerie et d'effroi Pour tous ceux qui l'environnent.

40 Car ainsi parle l'Eternel: Voici, il vole comme l'aigle, Et il étend ses ailes sur Moab.

41 Kerijoth est prise, Les forteresses sont emportées, Et le coeur des héros de Moab est en ce jour Comme le coeur d'une femme en travail.

42 Moab sera exterminé, il cessera d'être un peuple, Car il s'est élevé contre l'Eternel.

43 La terreur, la fosse, et le filet, Sont sur toi, habitant de Moab! Dit l'Eternel.
