Geremia 48:29 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:29

We have heard the pride of Moab
Israel, and all the nations round about, had heard of this, and seen or heard of many instances of it; the thing was notorious; according to Kimchi, it is the prophet that here speaks in the name of the nations; but it seems best to understand it of the Lord himself, as appears from the ( Jeremiah 48:30 ) ; and who here speaks in the plural number, because of the plurality of persons in the Godhead; as he afterwards does in the singular number, to denote the unity of the divine essence: (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his
pride, and the haughtiness of his heart;
a heap of words to express the same thing; suggesting that the instances of his pride were many, and that it was exceeding great indeed: these many words were little enough; and indeed words were wanting fully to declare it. The same was observed in Isaiah's time, and in much the same language; only more words are here used, to show that his pride was increased since that time; see ( Isaiah 16:6 ) .

Geremia 48:29 In-Context

27 Israele non è egli stato per te un oggetto di scherno? Era egli forse stato trovato fra i ladri, che ogni volta che parli di lui tu scuoti il capo?

28 Abbandonate le città e andate a stare nelle rocce, o abitanti di Moab! Siate come le colombe che fanno il lor nido sull’orlo de’ precipizi.

29 Noi abbiamo udito l’orgoglio di Moab, l’orgogliosissimo popolo, la sua arroganza, la sua superbia, la sua fierezza, l’alterigia del suo cuore.

30 Io conosco la sua tracotanza, dice l’Eterno, ch’è mal fondata; le sue vanterie non hanno approdato a nulla di stabile.

31 Perciò, io alzo un lamento su Moab, io do in gridi per tutto Moab; perciò si geme per quei di Kir-Heres.
