Geremia 48:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:4

Moab is destroyed
Either the whole nation in general; so the Targum,

``the kingdom of Moab is broken;''
and so Abarbinel; or a city so called, which some take to be the city Areopolis. Jerom F7 says, that Moab is a city of Arabia, now called Areopolis; and which also has the name of Rabbathmoab, or "grand Moab"; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;
seeing their parents killed, and they left desolate, and in the hands of the enemy; and not only so, but just going to be dashed in pieces by them. The Targum interprets it, her governors; and so Jarchi, who thinks they are so called, because they are lesser than kings. Kimchi and Ben Melech suggest, that these are called so by way of contempt. The word "tzeir" signifies both "little" and "great", as the learned Pocock F8 has abundantly proved.

Geremia 48:4 In-Context

2 Il vanto di Moab non è più; in Heshbon macchinan del male contro di lui: "Venite, distruggiamolo, e non sia più nazione". Tu pure, o Madmen, sarai ridotta al silenzio; la spada t’inseguirà.
3 Delle grida vengon da Horonaim: Devastazione e gran rovina!
4 Moab è infranto, i suoi piccini fanno udire i lor gridi.
5 Poiché su per la salita di Luhith si piange, si sale piangendo perché giù per la discesa di Horonaim s’ode il grido, angoscioso della rotta.
6 Fuggite, salvate le vostre persone, siano esse come una tamerice nel deserto!
