Jeremias 48:34-44

Listen to Jeremias 48:34-44
34 O grito de Hesbom e Eleale se ouve até Jaza; fazem ouvir a sua voz desde Zoar até Horonaim, e até Eglate-Selíssia; pois também as águas do Ninrim virão a ser uma desolação.
35 Demais, farei desaparecer de Moabe, diz o Senhor, aquele que sacrifica nos altos, e queima incenso a seus deuses.
36 Por isso geme como flauta o meu coração por Moabe, e como flauta geme o meu coração pelos homens de Quir-Heres; porquanto a abundância que ajuntou se perdeu.
37 Pois toda cabeça é tosquiada, e toda barba rapada; sobre todas as mãos há sarjaduras, e sobre os lombos sacos.
38 Sobre todos os eirados de Moabe e nas suas ruas há um pranto geral; porque quebrei a Moabe, como a um vaso que não agrada, diz o Senhor.
39 Como está quebrantrado! como uivam! como virou Moabe as costas envergonhado! assim se tornou Moabe objeto de escárnio e de espanto para todos os que estão em redor dele.
40 Pois assim diz o Senhor: Eis que alguém voará como a águia, e estenderá as suas asas contra Moabe.
41 Tomadas serão as cidades, e ocupadas as fortalezas; e naquele dia será o coração dos valentes de Moabe como o coração da mulher em suas dores de parto.
42 E Moabe será destruído, para que não seja povo, porque se engrandeceu contra o Senhor.
43 Temor, e cova, e laço estão sobre ti, ó morador de Moabe, diz o Senhor.
44 O que fugir do temor cairá na cova, e o que sair da cova ficará preso no laço; pois trarei sobre ele, sobre Moabe, o ano do seu castigo, diz o Senhor.

Jeremias 48:34-44 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.
