Jeremías 48:41 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 48:41

Kerioth is taken
The name of a city in Moab, as in ( Jeremiah 48:24 ) ; so Jarchi, and others; but Kimchi and Abarbinel observe, that it may be taken for an appellative, and be rendered "the cities"; everyone of the cities of Moab, which were as easily and quickly taken as one city; these may intend the cities in the plain, as the strong holds those in high places: and the strong holds are surprised;
everyone of them; so that there was not a city, or a fortified place, but what came into the enemies' hands: and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart
of a woman in her pangs;
even the hearts of the soldiers, and the most courageous generals, shall sink within them; and they be not only as timorous as women in common, but as low spirited as a woman when she finds her pains are coming upon her, and the time of her delivery is at hand.

39 ¡Cómo ha sido destrozado! ¡Cómo ha gemido! ¡Cómo ha vuelto la espalda Moab avergonzado! Moab será, pues, objeto de burla y de terror para todos los que lo rodean.

40 Porque así dice el SEÑOR: He aquí, como águila volará veloz, y extenderá sus alas contra Moab.

41 Ha sido tomada Queriot y las fortalezas han sido ocupadas; será el corazón de los valientes de Moab en aquel día como el corazón de una mujer de parto.

42 Y Moab será destruido, dejará de ser pueblo porque se engrandeció contra el SEÑOR.

43 Terror, foso y lazo vienen sobre ti, morador de Moabdeclara el SEÑOR.
