Commentary

3 notes on this verse
And upon Dibon,.... Whose destruction by this time was come upon it, as suggested, Jer 48:18; and upon Nebo: of which see Jer 48:1; and upon Bethdiblathaim: the same with Almondiblathaim in Num 33:46 and Diblath in Eze 6:14.

This site's exposition

come down from thy glory

on Jeremiah 48:18-28

Dibon is told to come down from glory and sit in thirst, Aroer to stand by the road and ask the fugitives what is done, and then the catalogue runs the plain country town by town, Holon, Jahazah, Mephaath, Dibon, Nebo, and the rest, judgment given as an itinerary. The horn cut off and the arm broken state the end in the body's own emblems of strength. The ground returns at verse 26, he magnified himself against the Lord, with verse 27's question, was not Israel a derision unto thee?, the mockery of the exiles' calamity now answered in kind, and the counsel to dwell in the rock like the dove nesting at the hole's mouth is the oracle's one mercy in this stretch.
