Jeremías 48:42 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:42

And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people
For some time, not always; since the captivity of Moab is promised to be returned, ( Jeremiah 48:47 ) ; or from being such a people as they had been, enjoying so much ease, wealth, power, and prosperity. Abarbinel takes it to be a comparative, and renders it, "more than a people"; that is, shall be destroyed more than any other people; but the former sense is best; because he hath magnified [himself] against the Lord;
the Targum is, against the people of the Lord; this is the cause of his destruction; (See Gill on Jeremiah 48:26).

Jeremías 48:42 In-Context

40 Así dice el SEÑOR:«¡Miren! Vuela el enemigo como águila;sobre Moab despliega sus alas.

41 Sus ciudades serán capturadas,y conquistadas sus fortalezas.En aquel día, el corazón de los guerreros de Moabserá como el de una parturienta.

42 Moab será destruida como nación,porque ha desafiado al SEÑOR.

43 El terror, la fosa y la trampa,aguardan al habitante de Moab—afirma el SEÑOR—.

44 El que huya del terror caerá en la fosa;el que salga de la fosa caerá en la trampa;porque yo hago venir sobre Moabel tiempo de su castigo—afirma el SEÑOR—.
