Jeremias 48:30

30 Eu conheço, diz o Senhor, a sua insolência, mas isso nada é; as suas jactâncias nada têm efetuado.

Jeremias 48:30 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:30

I know his wrath, saith the Lord
Against the Jews, and other nations; what he has threatened to do unto them, and would do if not restrained: but [it shall] not [be] so;
as he has devised in his mind, and threatened in his wrath; all his swelling thoughts and big words shall come to nothing: his lies shall not so effect [it];
it shall not be according to his words; they will prove lies, and of no effect. Kimchi interprets it of the sons of Moab, who shall not be able to do what they thought to do; and Jarchi of his mighty ones; and the Targum of his nobles, paraphrasing it,

``and their nobles are not right, they do not as is becoming;''

perhaps it may be better understood of his diviners and soothsayers, as the word is used in ( Isaiah 44:25 ) ; and be rendered, "his diviners have not done right" ^F6; they have deceived him with their lying oracles; swelled him with pride; and brought him to ruin, he trusting to them.

Jeremias 48:30 In-Context

28 Deixai as cidades, e habitai no rochedo, ó moradores de Moabe; e sede como a pomba que se aninha nos lados da boca da caverna.

29 Temos ouvido da soberba de Moabe, que é soberbíssimo; da sua sobrançaria, do seu orgulho, da sua arrogância, e da altivez do seu coração.

30 Eu conheço, diz o Senhor, a sua insolência, mas isso nada é; as suas jactâncias nada têm efetuado.

31 Por isso uivarei por Moabe; sim, gritarei por todo o Moabe; pelos homens de Quir-Heres lamentarei.

32 Com choro maior do que o de Jazer chorar-te-ei, ó vide de Sibma; os teus ramos passaram o mar, chegaram até o mar de Jazer; mas o destruidor caiu sobre os teus frutos de verão, e sobre a tua vindima.
