Jeremias 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.

39 “Como ela foi destruída! Como lamentam!Como Moabe dá as costas, envergonhada!Moabe tornou-se objeto de ridículoe de pavor para todos os seus vizinhos”.

40 Assim diz o SENHOR:“Vejam! Uma águia planandoestende as asas sobre Moabe.

41 Queriote será capturada,e as fortalezas serão tomadas.Naquele dia, a coragem dos guerreiros de Moabeserá como a de uma mulher em trabalho de parto.

42 Moabe será destruída como nação,pois ela desafiou o SENHOR.

43 Terror, cova e laço esperam por você,ó povo de Moabe”,declara o SENHOR.
