Yirmeyah 48:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:14

How say ye, we [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
] The Moabites were proud, haughty, and arrogant; boasted much of their strength and valour; of the strength of their bodies, and fitness for war, and skill in it; and of the strength of their fortified cities; and thought themselves a match for the enemy, and secure from all danger: for this their pride, vanity, and self-confidence, they are here reproved, since their destruction was at hand.
