Jeremia 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.

Jeremia 48:25 In-Context

23 En over Kirjathaim, en over Beth-Gamul, en over Beth-Meon,

24 En over Kerioth, en over Bozra; ja, over alle steden van Moabs land, die verre en die nabij zijn.

25 Moabs hoorn is afgesneden, en zijn arm verbroken, spreekt de HEERE.

26 Maak hem dronken, omdat hij zich groot gemaakt heeft tegen den HEERE; zo zal Moab met de handen klappen in zijn uitspuwsel, en hij zelf zal ook ter belaching zijn.

27 Want is u niet Israel ter belaching geweest? Was hij onder de dieven gevonden, dat gij u zo bewoogt, van den tijd af, dat uw woorden van hem waren?
