(29) We have heard the pride of Moab . . .--It will be seen that here and in the next verse the very words of Isaiah (Isaiah 16:6) are reproduced. The prophet seems to find a pleasure in going back to the old words as showing that the fault of which he spoke was inveterate, and had shown itself incurable. It is, however, a free reproduction, and Jeremiah, instead of making the whole utterance that of the Jews, inserts the words, "I know his wrath, saith the Lord," which come as an oracle from God, affirming the judgment of the people.Verses 29, 30. - These verses are an expansion of Isaiah 16:6. The boastfulness of Moab seems to have much impressed its Israelitish neighbours (comp. vers. 14, 27). It has been thought to be illustrated by the inscription on the Moabite Stone; but we must remember that all national monuments of this sort have a tendency to exaggeration. Verse 29. - We have heard; viz. the prophet and his countrymen. Jeremiah 48:29 layers four descriptions—pomposity, exceeding pride and conceit, proud arrogance, haughtiness of heart—to portray Moab’s deeply rooted self-exaltation. God exposes the sin publicly, confirms it through multiple prophetic voices, and warns that such pride will always end in humiliation. The verse calls us to examine not just actions but the attitudes beneath them, trading conceit for the humility that invites God’s favor. Parallel Commentaries ...
