Context — A Warning to Moabgenerated

6‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert. ’
7Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
8The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
9Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.

Jeremiah 48:7 presents a dire warning to the people of Moab, emphasizing the consequences of their misplaced trust in their own works and treasures. The prophet Jeremiah conveys that their reliance on their own strength will lead to their capture and the exile of their god Chemosh, alongside their priests and officials. This serves as a reminder of the futility of placing confidence in material wealth and personal achievements rather than in God.

2Jeremiah 13:25This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you,” declares the LORD, “because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.

The Key Word בִּטְחֵךְ, bit.Chekhgenerated

The verb בִּטְחֵךְ (bit.Chekh) is derived from the root batach, which means to trust or have confidence. This construction indicates a sense of reliance and security, particularly in the context of trusting in one's own actions and resources.

In this verse, the use of בִּטְחֵךְ highlights the Moabites' misplaced confidence in their own abilities and possessions, which ultimately leads to their downfall. The parsing as an infinitive construct with a suffix indicates that the trust is directed towards the subject, emphasizing their personal reliance.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The structure of the verse revolves around a main clause introduced by the conjunction כִּי (ki), indicating causation, followed by a series of phrases that elaborate on the consequences of the subject's actions. The finite verb תִּלָּכֵ֑דִי (ti.la.Khe.di), meaning 'you will be captured,' is pivotal, with additional phrases detailing the actions of Chemosh and his priests.

The sentence is constructed to emphasize the reasons for Moab's impending capture, with the verb יָצָא (ve.ya.Tza') indicating the action of Chemosh going into exile, creating a direct connection between the people's trust and their fate.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יַעַן as ἐπειδὴ, indicating a causal relationship similar to the Hebrew. This choice maintains the emphasis on the reason behind the warning to Moab.

The use of συλλημφθήσῃ for תִּלָּכֵ֑דִי suggests a focus on the act of being captured, aligning with the overall theme of loss of autonomy due to misplaced trust.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Jeremiah 48:7 warns Moab that their trust in their own works and wealth will lead to their capture. Chemosh, their god, will also go into exile with his priests and officials. This verse highlights the consequences of relying on oneself rather than on God.

What does it mean to trust in your works and treasures?

Trusting in your works and treasures means relying on your own abilities and material possessions for security and success, rather than depending on God.

Whether by works in this place he meant their riches, got by the labour of their hands, or their idols, which often are called, by way of defamation, the works of their own hands, or their fortifications, is not much considerable; a confidence in creatures, opposed to a confidence in God, is doubtless the sin here intended, whatever the ground of it was, whether their idols, or riches, or fortified places. Chemosh was their principal idol, as appears by ,33 .

(7) Chemosh shall go forth into captivity.—The name appears as that of the national deity of Moab in Numbers 21:29, as worshipped also by the Ammonites in Judges 11:24. Solomon introduced and Josiah abolished his worship at Jerusalem (1 Kings 11:7; 2 Kings 23:13). He is identified by Jerome (Comm. on Isaiah 15:2) with the Baal-peor of Num 25:3. The name is prominent in the Moabite Inscription as that of the national deity, who subdues the people of his rival, Jehovah. The captivity of the idol implies, of course, that of the people The “works” in which Moab is said to have trusted are represented in the LXX. and Vulgate as “fortresses,” but the word is not used in this sense elsewhere, and…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text of Jeremiah 48:7 presents the verse clearly, stating that trust in works and treasures will lead to capture, with Chemosh going into exile alongside his priests and officials. The Septuagint, while not providing a direct translation, shows a strong correspondence with the Masoretic Text, matching 11 of the 14 words, indicating agreement in the overall message. The Dead Sea Scrolls (2Q13) contain fragments that align closely with the Masoretic Text, with 13 words supplied by an editor to complete the verse. Overall, the Masoretic Text, Septuagint, and Dead Sea Scrolls share a consistent theme regarding the consequences of misplaced trust, although the Septuagint's wording and structure differ from the Hebrew original.

The national God of the Moabites, as Baal of the Zidonians, or Milcom (Moloch, Malcam) of the Ammonites. The Moabites are apostrophized in an old Hebrew song as the "people of Chemosh" (Nu 21:29). Jeremiah in his oracle of doom upon Moab has recourse to the same old song and calls the people "the people of Chemosh." The impotence of the god to deliver his people is described by the prophet in figures representing him as going into captivity with them, his priests and princes…

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Chemosh

The destroyer, subduer, or fish-god, the god of the Moabites (Num. 21:29; Jer. 48:7, 13, 46). The worship of this god, “the abomination of Moab,” was introduced at Jerusalem by Solomon (1 Kings 11:7), but was abolished by Josiah (2 Kings 23:13). On the “Moabite Stone” (q.v.), Mesha (2 Kings 3:5) ascribes his victories over the king of Israel to this god, “And Chemosh drove him before my sight.”

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(subduer), the national deity of the Moabites. (Numbers 21:29; Jeremiah 48:7,13,46) In (Judges 11:24) he also appears as the god of the Ammonites. Solomon introduced, and Josiah abolished, the worship of Chemosh at Jerusalem. (1 Kings 11:7; 2 Kings 23:13) Also identified with Baal-peor, Baalzebub, Mars and Saturn.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The national god of the Moabites, and of the Ammonites, worshipped also under Solomon at Jerusalem, Nu 21:29; Jud 11:24; 1Ki 11:7; 2Ki 23:13; Jer 48:7. Some erroneously identify Chemosh with Ammon.
