Commentary on Jeremiah 48:27

Theological / Devotional

Found among thieves. To be detected as a thief is presented as a reason for great shame (see ch. 2:26). Here the prophet employs the same thought as a rhetorical question, presumably to emphasize the unreasonableness of Moab’s having despised Israel.
