30 Je connais, dit l'Éternel, son emportement. Vaines sont ses vanteries; vaines sont les choses qu'ils font!

Jérémie 48:30 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:30

I know his wrath, saith the Lord
Against the Jews, and other nations; what he has threatened to do unto them, and would do if not restrained: but [it shall] not [be] so;
as he has devised in his mind, and threatened in his wrath; all his swelling thoughts and big words shall come to nothing: his lies shall not so effect [it];
it shall not be according to his words; they will prove lies, and of no effect. Kimchi interprets it of the sons of Moab, who shall not be able to do what they thought to do; and Jarchi of his mighty ones; and the Targum of his nobles, paraphrasing it,

``and their nobles are not right, they do not as is becoming;''

perhaps it may be better understood of his diviners and soothsayers, as the word is used in ( Isaiah 44:25 ) ; and be rendered, "his diviners have not done right" ^F6; they have deceived him with their lying oracles; swelled him with pride; and brought him to ruin, he trusting to them.

Jérémie 48:30 In-Context

28 Habitants de Moab, abandonnez les villes, et demeurez dans les rochers; et soyez comme la colombe, qui fait son nid aux côtés de l'ouverture d'une caverne!

29 Nous avons appris l'orgueil de Moab, le très orgueilleux, son arrogance et son orgueil, sa fierté et son cœur altier.

30 Je connais, dit l'Éternel, son emportement. Vaines sont ses vanteries; vaines sont les choses qu'ils font!

31 C'est pourquoi je me lamente sur Moab; je crie au sujet de tout Moab. On gémit sur les gens de Kir-Hérès.

32 Vignoble de Sibma, je pleure sur toi plus que sur Jaezer, toi dont les pampres traversaient la mer, atteignaient la mer de Jaezer; le dévastateur s'est jeté sur tes fruits d'été et sur ta vendange.
