Moab: Moab has long since ceased to be a nation; while the Jews, agreeably to the Divine promise - Jeremiah 46:28, though successively subdued and oppressed by the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Syro-Macedonians, and Romans - which have also all passed away, and are no more and dispersed over the face of the earth, subsist to this day as a distinct people from all the nations of the world!
from: Jeremiah 48:2, Jeremiah 30:11, Esther 3:8-13, Psalms 83:4-8, Isaiah 7:8, Matthew 7:2
magnified: Jeremiah 48:26-30, Proverbs 16:18, Isaiah 37:23, Daniel 11:36, 2 Thessalonians 2:4, Revelation 13:6
Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 5:11 - a deadly Isaiah 16:6 - have Isaiah 25:11 - he shall bring Daniel 8:11 - he magnified
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people,.... For some time, not always; since the captivity of Moab is promised to be returned, Jeremiah 48:47; or from being such a people as they had been, enjoying so much ease, wealth, power, and prosperity. Abarbinel takes it to be a comparative, and renders it, "more than a people"; that is, shall be destroyed more than any other people; but the former sense is best;
because he hath magnified [himself] against the Lord; the Targum is, against the people of the Lord; this is the cause of his destruction;
Jeremiah 48:47- :.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 48:42. Moab shall be destroyed from being a people — They shall not have a king or civil governor: and I doubt whether there be any evidence that they were ever reinstated in their national character. They were captivated by the Chaldeans; and probably many returned with the Jews on the edict of Cyrus: but as to their being an independent nation after this, where is the positive proof?
