Context of Jeremiah 48:47

45“In the shadow of Heshbon The fugitives stand powerless [helpless and without strength], For a fire has gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the midst of Sihon; It has destroyed the forehead of Moab And the crowns of the heads of [the arrogant Moabites] the ones in tumult. 46Woe (judgment is coming) to you, O Moab! The people of [the pagan god called] Chemosh have perished; For your sons have been taken away captive And your daughters into captivity. Yet I will return the captives and restore the fortunes of Moab In the latter days,” says the Lord. Thus far is the judgment on Moab.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 48:47

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 47Will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days - I have already expressed doubts (see Jeremiah 48:42;) whether the Moabites were ever restored to their national distinction. The expressions in this chapter, relative to their total destruction as a people, are so strong and so frequent, that they leave little room for a limited interpretation.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 47Bring again the captivity - (Or, “restore the prosperity.”) A similar promise is given to Egypt, Ammon, and Elam Jeremiah 46:26; Jeremiah 49:6. Thus far … Moab - An editorial note by the same hand as the last words of Jeremiah 51:64.Read the comment

The destruction of Moab is further prophesied, to awaken them by national repentance and reformation to prevent the trouble, or by a personal repentance and reformation to prepare for it.
