Jeremiah 48:25

25 abscisum est cornu Moab et brachium eius contritum est ait Dominus

Jeremiah 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.

26 inebriate eum quoniam contra Dominum erectus est et adlidet manum Moab in vomitu suo et erit in derisum etiam ipse
