Context of Jeremiah 48:47
45They that fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 46Woe unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity. Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of 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
