Moab will be destroyed as a nation because she defied the Lord

Jeremiah 48:47

Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined. Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the stronghold[a] will be disgraced and shattered. Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon people will plot her downfall: ‘Come, let us put an end to that nation.’ You, the people of Madmen,[c] will also be silenced; the sword will pursue you.

Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials.

A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the Lord’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!

Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another— she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged. But days are coming,”  declares the Lord, “when I will send men who pour from pitchers,   and they will pour her out; they will empty her pitchers and smash her jars.

Make her drunk, for she has defied the Lord. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule. Was not Israel the object of your ridicule? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head in scorn whenever you speak of her?

So my heart laments for Moab like the music of a pipe;  it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth. The wealth they acquired is gone.

Moab will be destroyed as a nation because she defied the Lord.

Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh are destroyed; your sons are taken into exile and your daughters into captivity.

Why?

Even Jeremiah felt sad for the Moab falling, the wealth they acquired is gone.

Since Moab trusted in their deeds and riches, so they will be taken captive. And Moab defied the Lord so the land is destroyed.

The judgment of the Lord not only come upon Israelites but also come over to all nations.

摩押的毀滅：使用許多地名，當時應該是很熟悉的地方，就在他們旁邊。

摩押的安逸：酒一直放在原來的地方過濾，一直很安逸，神要將他們倒出來，在安逸中滅亡

為摩押哀哭：地理優勢、水草豐富，連神都為他們哀哭，

神的忿怒與憐憫：摩押人還要再歸回，指的是連摩押這樣的民族(被神丟棄），都讓他們歸回，外邦人得救。

希實本含意是設計謀，他們設計謀害人，奪取人財物，結果反而被奪取。

摩押人倚靠偶像、精銳的部隊，物產豐富，都要被毀去。錯誤的倚靠以致跌倒在所依靠的上面。摩押人驕傲自大，結果在驕傲的地方一無所成！只有神才是我們唯一的倚靠。

How?

Even though I am not so good but the Lord loves me, so I should more diligent to do the right thing and let the light of Jesus may shine out on others.
