Jeremías 48:40 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:40

For thus saith the Lord, behold, he shall fly as an eagle,
&c.] The enemy, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with his army; who is compared to an eagle for his strength, swiftness, and greediness after the prey: and shall spread his wings over Moab;
as an eagle spreads its wings, which are very large, over the little birds it seizes upon as its prey; so the king of Babylon would bring a numerous army against Moab, and spread it over his country. The Targum is,

``behold, as all eagle which flies, so a king shall come up with his army, and encamp against Moab.''

Jeremías 48:40 In-Context

38 En todas las terrazas de Moab y en sus calles todo es lamentación, porque he quebrado a Moab como a vaso indeseable declara el SEÑOR.
39 ¡Cómo ha sido destrozado! ¡Cómo ha gemido! ¡Cómo ha vuelto la espalda Moab avergonzado! Moab será, pues, objeto de burla y de terror para todos los que lo rodean.
40 Porque así dice el SEÑOR: He aquí, como águila volará veloz, y extenderá sus alas contra Moab.
41 Ha sido tomada Queriot y las fortalezas han sido ocupadas; será el corazón de los valientes de Moab en aquel día como el corazón de una mujer de parto.
42 Y Moab será destruido, dejará de ser pueblo porque se engrandeció contra el SEÑOR.
