Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 48:13

Theological / Devotional

Ashamed of Chemosh. A vivid contrast with the boastful declarations of Mesha (see the inscription on the Moabite Stone, translated in the Additional Note on 2 Kings 3).

Ashamed of Beth-el. A reference to the idolatrous worship in the form of a calf, established by Jeroboam at Bethel, and continued generally throughout the history of the northern kingdom (see 1 Kings 12:26-29). As Israel found her idols powerless, so now Moab would find hers.
