Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 48:15

15 Moab is spoiled , and gone up out of her cities , and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter , saith the king whose name is the LORD of hosts .

Your Country will be wasted, and spoiled.

The Inhabitants of it shall be all driven out of their Cities. The Heb. is and her cities, it or he is gone up. So the sense may be Moab and her Cities are all spoiled, and he (that is) the Enemy is gone up.

And the strong, and mighty men she boasted of, and gloried in, are gone to the Battel, as oxen or sheep to a slaughter-house.

I do not speak this of my self, I cannot of my self tell things that shall come to pass hereafter, but the words I say are the words of him who is the Lord of all the Armies of Heaven and Earth, who both knoweth what shall be, and is able to effect what he saith.
