Jeremiah 48:13

The Holy Bible, Berean Study Bible

Contextual Overview

¹Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: "Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled. ²There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: 'Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.' You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. ³A voice cries out from Horonaim, 'Devastation and great destruction!' ⁴Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out. ⁵For on the Ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction: ⁶'Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.' ⁷Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials. ⁸The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley also will be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said. ⁹Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them. ¹⁰Cursed be the one who is negligent in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh,.... His idol; see

Jeremiah 48:7; of his worship of him, prayers to him, and confidence in him; he not being able to save him from the destruction of the Chaldeans, and being carried captive by them; he himself also going into captivity:

as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel their confidence; that is, of the golden calf that was set up in Bethel by Jeroboam, and which the ten tribes of Israel worshipped, and in which they trusted; but that could not save them from being carried captive by the Assyrians; and so were ashamed of it, and of their idolatrous worship, and vain confidence.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Israel was ashamed of Beth-el - After Salmaneser had carried Israel away, they could trust no longer in the calf of Bethel established by Jeroboam.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 48:13. Beth-el their confidence. — Alluding to the golden calves which Jeroboam had there set up, and commanded all the Israelites to worship.
