Context of Jeremiah 48:47

45People will run away to Heshbon to be safe. They will be helpless as they stand outside its walls. Flames of fire will come out from Heshbon, the city where King Sihon once ruled. It will burn as far as Moab's borders. It will destroy those proud people who love to fight. 46It will be very bad for you, you people of Moab! The enemy will destroy you people who worship Chemosh. They will take away your sons and your daughters. They will take them as prisoners to a foreign land. But one day I will cause Moab to be strong again.’ That is what the Lord says. That is the end of the Lord's message against 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
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-47Verses 14-47 . 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. In reading this long roll of threatenings, and mediating on the terror, it will be of more use to us to keep in view the power of God's anger and the terror of his judgments, and to have our hearts possessed with a holy awe of God and of his wrath, than to…Read the comment
