Jeremías 48:21 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:21

And judgment is come upon the plain country
Of Moab, which was for the most part such, especially that which lay near Arnon; the judgment of God's vengeance, punishment for sin, by the hand of the Chaldeans. The Targum is,

``they that execute vengeance are come:''

upon Holon;
a city of Moab; of which see ( Joshua 15:51 ) ( 21:15 ) ; it had its name perhaps from the sandy ground on which it stood. Grotius takes it to be the Alabana of Ptolemy: and upon Jahazah: the same with Jahaz, (See Gill on Isaiah 15:4); reckoned by Grotius to be the Jadu of Ptolemy; see ( Joshua 13:18 ) ; and upon Mephaath;
of which see ( Joshua 13:18 ) ( 21:37 ) ; said by Grotius to be the Maipha of Ptolemy.

19 Habitantes de Aroer,
párense junto al camino y observen.
Griten a los que huyen de Moab:
“¿Qué sucedió allí?”.

20 »Y la contestación que reciben es:
“¡Moab queda en ruinas, deshonrada;
lloren y giman!
Anúncienlo en las orillas del río Arnón:
¡Moab ha sido destruida!”.
