Gill's Notes on the Bible
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] upon thee,.... A proverbial expression, showing, that if they escaped one danger, or sore judgment, they should fall into another and greater: the words seem to be taken from Isaiah 24:17;
Isaiah 24:17- :;
O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord; what in the prophecy of Isaiah is said of the inhabitants of the earth in general, is here applied to the inhabitants of Moab in particular.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 48:43. Fear, and the pit, and the snare — See the note on Isaiah 24:17-18.
