Notes

Jeremiah 48:13

The Lord's judgment would make the Moabites embarrassed that Chemosh could not protect them. This is similar to how the Israelites of the northern kingdom felt when the false gods they worshiped could not protect them from the Assyrians (1 Kings 12:28–29; 13:33–34; Hosea 8:5–6).
ashamed when they trusted in Bethel: See 1 Kings 12:28–30.

Jeremiah 48:1–47

Moab, one of two nations descended from Abraham’s nephew Lot (Genesis 19:36–38), was the next nation judged in the Lord’s courtroom (compare Isaiah 15–16). Moab’s land was between the Arnon River and the Zered Brook, east of the Dead Sea. At that time, the Moabites felt confident because they were mostly safe from Babylonian military power. However, the Lord found the Moabites to be greedy and cruel, and their worship was violent and indulgent.

Jeremiah 48:1–49:6

The Lord ordered the destruction and future rebuilding of Moab and Ammon. These two nations came from Lot, who was Abraham's nephew (Genesis 19:36–38).
