Context of Jeremiah 48:47

45They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult. 46Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives. But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement 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.

• 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
