Jeremiah 48:42
Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
BSB
ASV
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah.
KJV
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the Lord.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people,.... For some time, not always; since the captivity of Moab is promised to be returned, Jer 48:47; or from being such a people as they had been, enjoying so much ease, wealth, power, and prosperity.
Moab shall be destroyed from being a people - They shall not have a king or civil governor: and I doubt whether there be any evidence that they were ever reinstated in their national character. They were captivated by the Chaldeans; and probably many returned with the Jews on the edict of Cyrus: but as to their being an independent nation after this, where is the positive proof?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
