Jérémie 48:1-10

Listen to Jérémie 48:1-10
1 Touchant Moab. Ainsi a dit l'Éternel des armées, le Dieu d'Israël: Malheur à Nébo, car elle est saccagée! Kirjathaïm est honteuse; elle est prise; la ville forte est honteuse et atterrée.
2 Moab n'a plus à se glorifier de Hesbon; on machine du mal contre elle: "Venez, exterminons-la du milieu des nations. " Toi aussi, Madmen, tu seras détruite, et l'épée te poursuivra.
3 Un cri part de Horonajim; c'est une dévastation, c'est une grande ruine!
4 Moab est brisé. Les petits enfants font entendre leurs cris.
5 On monte, en versant pleurs sur pleurs, la montée de Luchith; et dans la descente de Horonajim, on entend les cris de l'angoisse et de la détresse.
6 Fuyez, sauvez vos vies, et qu'elles soient comme celles des misérables dans le désert!
7 Car, puisque tu as eu confiance en tes ouvrages et en tes trésors, tu seras aussi prise; et Kémosh s'en ira en captivité, avec ses sacrificateurs et ses chefs.
8 Le dévastateur entrera dans toutes les villes et aucune ville n'échappera; la vallée périra, et la plaine sera détruite, suivant ce que l'Éternel a dit.
9 Donnez des ailes à Moab; car certainement il s'envolera, et ses villes seront réduites en désolation, sans qu'il y ait personne qui y habite.
10 Maudit soit quiconque fera l'œuvre de l'Éternel lâchement! Maudit soit celui qui refuse le sang à son épée!

Jérémie 48:1-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JEREMIAH 48

This chapter contains a prophecy of the destruction of Moab, and of the mourning that should be for it; and not only its destruction in general is predicted, but particular places are mentioned, on which it should fall, Jer 48:1-5; the causes of which were their confidence in their works and riches, their carnal ease and security, and their idolatry, they should now be ashamed of, Jer 48:6-13; and this destruction is represented both as certain and as near, notwithstanding their mighty warriors and choice young men, Jer 48:14-17; and then other cities are particularly named, that should share in the calamity, Jer 48:18-25; and all this because of their insolence to the Lord; their contempt of his people; their pride, arrogance, and haughtiness; their wrath, and their lies, Jer 48:26-30; and this destruction is further exaggerated by the lamentation of the prophet over Moab in general, and over several particular cities; and by the lamentation of the inhabitants of them, because of the spoiling of their vines, their fruits, and their riches, Jer 48:31-39; and this is confirmed by the Lord, as to the swiftness of the enemy that should destroy them; the consternation and fear that should seize them; the flight they should be put to; and the consumption and captivity of them, Jer 48:40-46; and the chapter is concluded with a promise of the return of their captivity in the latter day, Jer 48:47.
