30 Yo conozco su insolencia
—dice el Señor

pero sus alardes están vacíos,
tan vacíos como sus hechos.

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.

Jeremías 48:30 In-Context

28 »Ustedes, habitantes de Moab,
huyan de sus ciudades y vivan en cuevas.
Escóndanse como palomas que anidan
en las hendiduras de las rocas.

29 Todos hemos oído de la soberbia de Moab,
porque su orgullo es muy grande.
Sabemos de su orgullo altanero,
de su arrogancia y de su corazón altivo.

30 Yo conozco su insolencia
—dice el Señor
—,
pero sus alardes están vacíos,
tan vacíos como sus hechos.

31 Así que ahora gimo por Moab,
de veras, me lamentaré por Moab.
Mi corazón está quebrantado por los hombres de Kir-hareset.

32 »Pueblo de Sibma, rico en viñedos,
lloraré por ti aún más de lo que lloré por Jazer.
Tus extensas vides en otro tiempo llegaban hasta el mar Muerto,
¡pero el destructor te ha dejado desnudo
y cosechó tus uvas y frutos de verano!
