Contextual Overview

14 Wherefore do ye thinke thus: we are mightie and strong men of warre? 15 Moab is destroyed, and her cities brent vp, her chosen young men be slayne, saith the kyng whose name is the Lorde of hoastes. 16 The destruction of Moab commeth on a pace, and her fall is at hande. 17 All ye neighbours mourne for her, and all ye that knowe her name, say, O howe happeneth it that the strong staffe and the goodly rodde is thus broken? 18 And thou daughter Dibon, come downe from thy glory, and sit in thyrst: for he that destroyeth Moab, shall come vp to thee also, and breake downe thy strong holdes. 19 And thou that dwellest in Aroer, get thee to the streete, and looke about thee, aske them that are fled and escaped, and say, What thing is happened? 20 Oh Moab is confounded and ouercome: mourne and crye, tell it out at Arnon, that Moab is destroyed. 21 For iudgement shall come vpon the playne lande [namely] vpon Holon, and Iahzah, and vpon Mephaath. 22 And vpon Dibon, vpon Nabo, and Beth Deblathaim, 23 Upon Kiriathaim, and vpon Beth Gamul, vpon Beth Maon,

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped,.... Men, in times of mourning, used to pluck off the hairs of their head till they made them bald, and shaved their beards; which, as Kimchi says, were the glory of their faces; see Isaiah 15:2;

upon all the hands shall be cuttings: it was usual with the Heathens to make incisions in the several parts of their bodies, particularly in their hands and arms, with their nails, or with knives, in token of mourning; which are forbidden the Israelites, Deuteronomy 14:1;

and upon the loins sackcloth; this is a well known custom for mourners, to put off their clothes, and put on sackcloth; all these things are mentioned, to show how great was the mourning of Moab for the calamities of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Cuttings - Compare Jeremiah 16:6, and marginal references.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 48:37. For every head shall be bald — These, as we have seen before, were signs of the deepest distress and desolation.
