SEV Biblia, Chapter 48:11
Quieto estuvo Moab desde su juventud, y sobre sus heces ha estado él reposado, y no fue vaciado de vaso en vaso, ni nunca fue en cautiverio; por tanto, quedó su sabor en él, y su olor no se ha cambiado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 48:11
Verse 11. Moab hath been at ease] The metaphor here is taken from the mode of preserving wines. They let them rest upon their lees for a considerable time, as this improves them both in strength and flavour; and when this is sufficiently done, they rack, or pour them off into other vessels. Moab had been very little molested by war since he was a nation; he had never gone out of his own land. Though some had been carried away by Shalmaneser forty years before this, he has had neither wars nor captivity. Therefore his taste remained in him] Still carrying on the allusion to the curing of wines; by resting long upon the lees, the taste and smell are both improved. See the note on Isa. xxv. 6.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The calamities of the Philistines.
The Philistines had always been enemies to Israel; but the Chaldea army shall overflow their land like a deluge. Those whom God wil spoil, must be spoiled. For when the Lord intends to destroy the wicked, he will cut off every helper. So deplorable are the desolation of war, that the blessings of peace are most desirable. But we mus submit to His appointments who ordains all in perfect wisdom an justice __________________________________________________________________
