Jeremiah 48:47 meaning and explanation
Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
Jeremiah 48:47, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jeremiah has pronounced a long judgment against Moab, Israel's neighbor and frequent enemy, through a series of city names and images of fleeing and mourning. Verse 47 closes the oracle with a surprising turn: the LORD himself promises to restore Moab from captivity "in the latter days." The phrase points to a future beyond the immediate judgment, when God's dealings with the nations reach their goal.
