Book ◦ Chapter

Terror and pit and snare await you
This phrase is a triad of calamities, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the judgment coming upon Moab. The use of "terror," "pit," and "snare" suggests inescapable danger and destruction. This imagery is reminiscent ofIsaiah 24:17-18, where similar language is used to describe the judgment upon the earth. The repetition underscores the certainty and severity of the impending doom. In the ancient Near Eastern context, these terms would evoke images of hunting and warfare, where traps and ambushes were common. Theologically, it reflects the consequences of sin and rebellion against God, as Moab had been a long-time adversary of Israel.

O dweller of Moab
Moab was a nation located east of the Dead Sea, often in conflict with Israel. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and had a complicated relationship with the Israelites. Historically, Moab was known for its pride and idolatry, particularly the worship of Chemosh. The phrase "dweller of Moab" personalizes the prophecy, addressing the inhabitants directly and highlighting their accountability. Moab's geographical location made it a significant player in regional politics, but it also made them vulnerable to the surrounding powers. This judgment is a direct response to Moab's arrogance and hostility towards God's people, as seen in passages likeIsaiah 16 andAmos 2:1-3.

declares the LORD
This phrase asserts the divine authority behind the prophecy. It is not merely Jeremiah's words but a pronouncement from Yahweh Himself. The use of "declares the LORD" is a common prophetic formula that emphasizes the certainty and divine origin of the message. It assures the audience that the prophecy is not a human prediction but a divine decree. This underscores the sovereignty of God over all nations, not just Israel, and His active role in history. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of God's justice and the fulfillment of His word, as seen throughout the prophetic literature.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(43)Fear, and the pit, and the snare.--The words are a reproduction ofIsaiah 24:17, which had probably passed into something like proverbial use. The sequence in each case shows that each word plays a distinct part in the imagery. First there is the terror of the animal pursued by huntsmen, then the pit dug in the earth that it may fall into it (Psalm 7:15;Proverbs 26:27;Ecclesiastes 10:8); then, if it scrambles out of the pit, the snare or trap which finally secures it.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 43-47. - Hence, as the final result, escape is absolutely impossible, for one can get succeeds another in an endless series The last and greatest danger besots those who seek refuge behind the strong fortifications of Heshbon, It is from this very city that the hottest fire of the enemy breaks forth. Chemosh has not saved his people; and yet there is hope for Moab in the future.Verse 43. -Fear, and the pit, and the snare. An alliteration in the Hebrew, which occurs again inIsaiah 24:17. In German it can be represented better than in English -e.g. by Hitzig's "grauen, graben, garn." All primitive poetry delights in such alliterations.
