Contextual Overview

14 How do you say, We are mighty and strong men for war? 15 Moab is ravaged, and her cities have come up. And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts. 16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his evil hurries fast. 17 All who are around him mourn for him. And all who know his name, say, How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod! 18 O dweller, daughter of Dibon, come down from glory and sit in thirst. For a ravager of Moab shall come on you; he has ruined your strongholds. 19 O dweller of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, What has happened? 20 Moab is put to shame, for it is torn down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon that Moab is ravaged. 21 And judgment has come to the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahazah, and on Mephaath, 22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim, 23 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The horn of Moab is cut off,.... The kingdom of Moab, high and strong, his power and strength, by which he defended himself, and offended others, as a beast with his horns; his powerful kingdom, and the glory of it:

and his arm is broken, saith the Lord; so that he cannot hold a sword, or manage any weapon of war against the enemy, or do anything to annoy him, or in his own defence. The Targum is,

"the kingdom of Moab is cut off, and their rulers are broken, saith the Lord;''

and so Ben Melech interprets it of his princes, and his armies, which were the arm of the king, and of the people.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The horn - i. e., his pride (marginal reference); his arm, i. e., his strength Jeremiah 17:5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 48:25. The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken — His political and physical powers are no more.
