Jeremiah 48:30

"“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart."

Key Reflection

This verse highlights Moab's deep-seated pride and arrogance, reflecting a spiritual condition where self-exaltation leads to rejection of God's truth. Such pride is a barrier to recognizing divine sovereignty and mercy, illustrating the broader theme that human pride hinders faith and submission to God’s will.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But it shall not be so -Most commentators translate, “I know, saith Jehovah, his arrogancy, and the emptiness of his boastings; they have worked emptiness.”
