Yirmeyah 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.

Yirmeyah 48:25 In-Context

23 And upon Kiryatayim, and upon Beit-Gamul, and upon Beit-Me’on,

24 And upon Keriot, and upon Botzrah, and upon all the towns of Eretz Moav, far or near.

25 The keren of Moav is cut off, and his zero’a is broken, saith Hashem.

26 Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against Hashem; Moav also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27 For was not Yisroel a derision unto thee? Was he found among ganavim (thieves)? For since thou spoke of him, thou dost scornful head wagging.
