Jérémie 48:41

41 Kérijoth est prise, et les lieux forts sont saisis; et le cœur des héros de Moab sera, en ce jour-là, comme le cœur 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 Gémissez! Comme il est brisé! comme Moab tourne le dos dans sa honte! Moab sera la risée et l'effroi de tous ses alentours.

40 Car ainsi a dit l'Éternel: Voici, l'ennemi vole comme l'aigle, et il étend ses ailes sur Moab.

41 Kérijoth est prise, et les lieux forts sont saisis; et le cœur des héros de Moab sera, en ce jour-là, comme le cœur d'une femme en travail.

42 Et Moab sera exterminé; il cessera d'être un peuple; car il s'est élevé contre l'Éternel.

43 Sur toi sont la terreur, la fosse et le filet, habitant de Moab! dit l'Éternel.
