Jeremias 48:46

Jeremias 48:46 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:46

Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth,
&c.] The inhabitants of Moab, who worshipped the idol Chemosh; of which see ( Jeremiah 48:7 ) ; and so called his people, as Israel were called the people of the Lord; now these, notwithstanding their idol, whom they worshipped, and in whom they trusted, should perish; and sad and deplorable would be their condition and circumstances: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives;
this explains the woe that should come upon them, and in what sense they should perish; since their sons and daughters, who they hoped would have continued their name and nation, were taken, and would be carried captives into Babylon; see ( Numbers 21:29 ) .

Jeremias 48:46 In-Context

44 O que fugir do temor cairá na cova, e o que sair da cova ficará preso no laço; pois trarei sobre ele, sobre Moabe, o ano do seu castigo, diz o Senhor.

45 Os que fugiram ficam parados sem forças � sombra de Hesbom; mas fogo saiu de Hesbom, e a labareda do meio de Siom, e devorou a fronte de Moabe e o alto da cabeça dos turbulentos.

46 Ai de ti, Moabe! pereceu o povo de Quemós; pois teus filhos foram levados cativos, e tuas filhas para o cativeiro.

47 Contudo nos últimos dias restaurarei do cativeiro a Moabe, diz o Senhor. Até aqui o juizo de Moabe.
