SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Jeremiah 48 contains a detailed account of the judgments which were about to come upon Moab. Spoiling and dismay were coming, together with crying, desolation, destruction, and the like; so the LORD advised them to flee, because even their god Chemosh would go into captivity (1-7).
     Every city would be spoiled, and death and destruction would be in the valleys and the plains (8).
     "Give wings to Moab, says the LORD" that they might escape its destruction (9).
     The LORD calls the invasion his work and pronounces a curse upon all who hold back their swords from blood (10).
     Moab's long period of ease was about to come to an end; they would be broken; they would be ashamed of their god Chemosh; even their mighty men would perish; and their neighbors would mourn for them (11-17).
     The LORD calls them to leave their glory and come sit in the dust; the report is about to spread of Moab's destruction (18-20).
     Judgment is coming upon them, and their strength will be broken (21-25).
     For Moab's pride against the Lord, the Lord will make them drunken with judgment; they will be derided just as they derided Israel with the scorn usually heaped on a thief (26-27).
     Therefore, says the LORD, flee to the rock, because neither your pride nor your lies will deliver you (28-30).
     Therefore, says Jeremiah, he will howl for Moab, and joy and gladness will disappear (31-33).
     Offerings will cease; its waters will be desolate; and worshipers will cease; so mourning will come (34-36).
     The signs of grief -- baldness, cut flesh, and sackcloth -- will seen; people will lament upon the housetops and the streets; and they will howl, asking how such brokenness, shame, derision, and dismay could come upon them (37-39).
     Their destroyer will fly upon them like an eagle; their surprise will bring heart pains upon them like a woman in travail; they will cease to be a people; fear, the pit, and the snare will be upon them; he who flees from the one will fall by the other (40-44).
     Their refuges will be consumed by fire; they will go into captivity, yet they will return in the latter days (45-47).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

     1 Against Moab

     thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;

Woe unto Nebo!
for it is spoiled:
Kiriathaim is confounded
and taken:
Misgab is confounded
and dismayed.
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab:
in Heshbon they have devised evil against it;
come,
and let us cut it off from being a nation.
Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen;
the sword shall pursue thee [after you it shall go].
3 A voice of crying
shall be from Horonaim,
spoiling
and great destruction.
4 Moab is destroyed;
her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For in the going up of Luhith
continual weeping shall go up [in weeping ascends a weeping];
for in the going down of Horonaim
the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee,
save your lives,
and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works
and in thy treasures,
thou shalt also be taken:
and Chemosh shall go forth into captiviy
with his priests and his princes together.


8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city,
and no city shall escape:
the valley also shall perish,
and the plain shall be destroyed,
as the LORD hath spoken.




     10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.


11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth,
and he hath settled on his lees [dregs],
and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
neither hath he gone into captiviy:
therefore his taste remained in him,
and his scent [aroma] is not changed.


     12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers that shall cause him to wander [spillers, that shall cause him to spill], and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles. 13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

14 How say ye,
We are mighty and strong
men for the war?
15 Moab is spoiled,
and gone up out of her cities,
and his chosen young men
are gone down to the slaughter,
saith the King,
whose name is the LORD of hosts.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come,
and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 All ye that are about him,
bemoan him;
and all ye that know his name,
say,
How is the strong staff broken,
and the beautiful rod!




     21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, 22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim, 23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, 24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

     26 Make ye him drunken: for magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. 27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

28 O ye that dwell in Moab,
leave the cities,
and dwell in the rock,
and be like the dove
that maketh her nest
in the sides of the hole's mouth.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab,
(he is exceeding proud)
his loftiness,
and his arrogancy,
and his pride,
and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his wrath,
saith the LORD;
but it shall not be so;
his lies shall not so effect it.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab,
and I will cry out for all Moab;
mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32 O vine of Sibmah,
I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer:
thy plants are gone over the sea,
they reach even to the sea of Jazer:
the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits
and upon thy vintage.
33 And joy and gladness
is taken from the plentiful field,
and from the land of Moab;
and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses:
none shall tread with shouting;
their shouting shall be no shouting.


     34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. 35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

     37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 38 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken [this] Moab like a vessel wherein is no [nothing of] pleasure, saith the LORD. 39 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

40 For thus saith the LORD;
Behold,
he shall fly as an eagle,
and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken,
and the strong holds are surprised,
and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day
shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people,
because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Fear,
and the pit,
and the snare,
shall be upon thee,
O inhabitant of Moab,
saith the LORD.
44 He that fleeth from the fear
shall fall into the pit;
and he that getteth up out of the pit
shall be taken in the snare:
for I will bring upon it,
even upon Moab,
the year of their visitation,
saith the LORD.


45 They that fled
stood under the shadow of Heshbon
because of the force:
but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon,
and a flame from the midst of Sihon,
and shall devour the corner of Moab,
and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Woe be unto thee,
O Moab!
the people of Chemosh perisheth:
for thy sons are taken captives,
and thy daughters captives.
47 Yet will I bring again the captiviy of Moab
in the latter days,
saith the LORD.

Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
