Jeremiah 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.

Jeremiah 48:14 In-Context

13 et confundetur Moab a Chamos sicut confusa est domus Israhel a Bethel in qua habebat fiduciam

14 quomodo dicitis fortes sumus et viri robusti ad proeliandum

15 vastata est Moab et civitates illius ascenderunt et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem ait Rex Dominus exercituum nomen ei

16 prope est interitus Moab ut veniat et malum eius velociter adcurret nimis
