Jeremías 48:31 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:31

Therefore will I howl for Moab
The prophet, being as a man affected with the miseries of a people very wicked, and so deserving of them; though indeed by this he does not so much design to express the affections of his own heart, as to show what reason the Moabites would have to howl for the calamities of their country; for, as Kimchi observes, the prophet here speaks in the person of the people of Moab; see ( Isaiah 16:7 ) ; and I will cry out for all Moab;
the whole country of Moab, which should become desolate: [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres;
the same with Kirhareseth, a city of Moab, ( Isaiah 16:7 ) ; whose foundations should be sapped, the city taken, and the men of it put to the sword, or caused to flee; and their case being deplorable, the prophet says his heart should mourn for them like a dove, as Kimchi and Jarchi observe; though it may be rendered, "he shall mourn" ^F7; that is, Moab; for the destruction of such a principal city, and the men of it. The Targum renders it,

``for the men of the city of their strength.''

Jeremías 48:31 In-Context

29 Oído hemos la soberbia de Moab, que es muy soberbio: su hinchazón y su orgullo, y su altivez y la altanería de su corazón.

30 Yo conozco, dice Jehová, su cólera; mas no tendrá efecto: sus mentiras no han de aprovechar le.

31 Por tanto yo aullaré sobre Moab, y sobre todo Moab haré clamor, y sobre los hombres de Kir-heres gemiré.

32 Con lloro de Jazer lloraré por ti, oh vid de Sibma: tus sarmientos pasaron la mar, llegaron hasta la mar de Jazer: sobre tu agosto y sobre tu vendimia vino destruidor.

33 Y será cortada la alegría y el regocijo de los campos labrados, y de la tierra de Moab: y haré cesar el vino de los lagares: no pisarán con canción; la canción no será canción.
