John Trapp on Jeremiah 48:1

CHAP. XLVIII.

Ver. 1. AGainſt Moab] That baſtardly brood, infamous for their inveterate hatred of Gods Iſrael, at whom they were anciently irked, fretted, vexed, though no way provoked, Num. 22.3. whom alſo they outwitted, by the counſel of Balaam, in the buſineſſe of Baal-peor, Num. 25. had been plagued and judged by the Kings of Iſrael (by David eſpecially) as alſo by Sennacherib, Iſa. 15, and 16. but were no whit amended: and are therefore here, and Ezek. 25.9. threatned with utter deſtruction by the Chaldeans; and that very much in a ſcoffing way: like as they were a proud, petulant, ſcornful people, deſpiſers of all other Nations, but eſpecially of the Jews their near neighbours and Allyes.

Woe unto Nebo] Their oracular City, as it may ſeem by the name. See Eſa. 15.2.

Eipolis. Kirjathaim is confounded] It is of a dual forme: and ſo ſeemeth to have been a double City, as was of old Jeruſalem; and as are now Rome, Prague, Cracovia.

Miſgab is confounded] It ſignifieth the high place: and is the ſame, ſay ſome, with Bamoth, Num. 21, 20. & Selah, Iſa. 16.1.
