Jeremias 48:41

41 Tomadas serão as cidades, e ocupadas as fortalezas; e naquele dia será o coração dos valentes de Moabe como o coração da mulher em suas dores de parto.

Jeremias 48:41 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:41

Kerioth is taken
The name of a city in Moab, as in ( Jeremiah 48:24 ) ; so Jarchi, and others; but Kimchi and Abarbinel observe, that it may be taken for an appellative, and be rendered "the cities"; everyone of the cities of Moab, which were as easily and quickly taken as one city; these may intend the cities in the plain, as the strong holds those in high places: and the strong holds are surprised;
everyone of them; so that there was not a city, or a fortified place, but what came into the enemies' hands: and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart
of a woman in her pangs;
even the hearts of the soldiers, and the most courageous generals, shall sink within them; and they be not only as timorous as women in common, but as low spirited as a woman when she finds her pains are coming upon her, and the time of her delivery is at hand.

Jeremias 48:41 In-Context

39 Como está quebrantrado! como uivam! como virou Moabe as costas envergonhado! assim se tornou Moabe objeto de escárnio e de espanto para todos os que estão em redor dele.

40 Pois assim diz o Senhor: Eis que alguém voará como a águia, e estenderá as suas asas contra Moabe.

41 Tomadas serão as cidades, e ocupadas as fortalezas; e naquele dia será o coração dos valentes de Moabe como o coração da mulher em suas dores de parto.

42 E Moabe será destruído, para que não seja povo, porque se engrandeceu contra o Senhor.

43 Temor, e cova, e laço estão sobre ti, ó morador de Moabe, diz o Senhor.
