Jeremiah48:11
Ver. 11. Moab hath been at eaſe from his youth] And his eaſe hath deſtroyed him, as Prov. 1.32. He dwelleth near the Mare mortuum, and is become a very mare mortuum: i. e. a dead Sea. Becauſe he hath had no changes, therefore he feareth not God, Pſal. 55.19. Sibi conſtat in facultatibus, &c. he is rich and reſty: here's good booty for the Souldiers, who ſhould therefore beſtir them.
And he hath ſetled on his lees] As having never been turned out of his Country: which may well be called his mother, as the lees are called the mother of wine. But now his time is come to be tranſvaſated, to be emptied from veſſel to veſſel, to be carried captive.
