¹⁴ How say you, We are men of war and strong fighters? ¹⁵ He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies. ¹⁶ The fate of Moab is near, and trouble is coming on him very quickly. ¹⁷ All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch! ¹⁸ Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places. ¹⁹ O daughter of Aroer, take your station by the way, on the watch: questioning him who is in flight, and her who has got away safe, say, What has been done? ²⁰ Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste. ²¹ And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, 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,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

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;

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?
