Jeremías 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.

30 Yo conozco, dice el SEÑOR, su cólera; mas no tendrá efecto; sus mentiras no han de aprovecharle

31 Por tanto, yo aullaré sobre Moab; y sobre todo Moab haré clamor, y sobre los varones de Kir-hares gemiré

32 Con lloro de Jazer lloraré por ti, oh vid de Sibma; tus sarmientos pasaron el mar, llegaron hasta el mar de Jazer; sobre tu agosto y sobre tu vendimia vino destruidor
