Jeremías 48:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:13

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh
His idol; see ( Jeremiah 48:7 ) ; of his worship of him, prayers to him, and confidence in him; he not being able to save him from the destruction of the Chaldeans, and being carried captive by them; he himself also going into captivity: as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel their confidence;
that is, of the golden calf that was set up in Bethel by Jeroboam, and which the ten tribes of Israel worshipped, and in which they trusted; but that could not save them from being carried captive by the Assyrians; and so were ashamed of it, and of their idolatrous worship, and vain confidence.

Jeremías 48:13 In-Context

11 Reposado ha estado Moab desde su juventud, ha estado tranquilo sobre su sedimento; no ha sido vaciado de vasija en vasija, ni ha ido al destierro; por eso retiene su sabor, y su aroma no ha cambiado.

12 Por tanto, he aquí, vienen díasdeclara el SEÑORcuando le enviaré a trasvasadores que lo trasvasarán; vaciarán sus vasijas y harán pedazos sus cántaros.

13 Y Moab se avergonzará de Quemos, como la casa de Israel se avergonzó de Betel, su confianza.

14 ¿Cómo podéis decir: "Somos poderosos guerreros, y hombres valientes para la guerra"?

15 Es destruido Moab, el devastador ha subido a sus ciudades; la flor de sus jóvenes desciende a la matanza, declara el Rey, cuyo nombre es el SEÑOR de los ejércitos.
