Context — Judgment on Moab
5For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
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.Cross References

Jeremiah 48:7 Summary
[Jeremiah 48:7 teaches us that trusting in our own abilities and wealth is not enough to save us, as the Moabites learned the hard way. Instead, we must put our trust in God, who is our true Rock and Refuge, as seen in Psalm 46:1-3. By doing so, we can avoid the kind of judgment that fell on Moab, and experience God's peace and protection, as promised in Isaiah 26:3-4. This verse reminds us that our security and salvation come from God alone, and that we must trust in Him above all else.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Chemosh in Jeremiah 48:7?
Chemosh was the national god of the Moabites, and its mention here signifies that even the idols they trusted in would be taken into exile, as seen in Jeremiah 48:7, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of God's judgment, similar to what was prophesied in Jeremiah 46:25 and Isaiah 46:1-2.
Why does God judge the Moabites for trusting in their works and treasures?
God judges the Moabites because their trust in works and treasures, as mentioned in Jeremiah 48:7, is a form of idolatry, where they rely on their own strength and riches instead of God, as warned in Deuteronomy 8:17-18 and Hosea 12:8.
What does it mean for a nation to be 'captured' in the context of Jeremiah 48:7?
In the context of Jeremiah 48:7, being 'captured' means to be defeated and taken over by another power, as prophesied by God, similar to the fate of other nations in Isaiah 13:19 and Ezekiel 28:7, resulting in the loss of sovereignty and independence.
How does Jeremiah 48:7 relate to the broader theme of trust in the Bible?
Jeremiah 48:7 highlights the importance of trusting in God rather than in human strength or wealth, as emphasized in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 20:7, where true security and salvation come from faith in the Lord, not in earthly treasures or accomplishments.
Reflection Questions
- In what ways do I trust in my own works and treasures, rather than in God's provision and sovereignty?
- How can I apply the lesson of Jeremiah 48:7 to my own life, by putting my trust in God rather than in earthly securities?
- What are some modern-day 'idols' that I may be trusting in, instead of the one true God, and how can I redirect my trust to Him?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my trust in God's sovereignty, even in the face of uncertainty or adversity, as seen in Jeremiah 48:7 and other biblical accounts?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 48:7
For because thou hast trusted in thy works,.... The strong works and fortifications they had made about their cities, and so thought themselves safe in them; which is the sense of the Septuagint and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 48:7
For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:7
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 . God showeth them the vanity of this idolatry, by telling them that this idol should go into captivity, and be so far from being able to protect them, that he should not be able to protect himself or his own priests, or the princes that favoured him.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:7
Jeremiah 48:7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.Ver. 7. For because thou hast trusted in thy works.] Thy creature confidence and thine idolatry have undone thee. Chemosh shall go forth into captivlty.] Chemosh - unde Kùìïò - was the Moabites’ god, and is thought to be the same with Bacchus or Priapus. He is here called Chemosh by way of contempt.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:7
(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 it is more probable that the prophet represents Moab as relying on its past achievements and deeds of prowess. The last words of the verse are an echo of Amo 1:15.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:7
Verse 7. Chemosh shall go forth into captivity] The grand national idol of the Moabites, Numbers 21:29; Judges 11:24. Ancient idolaters used to take their gods with them to the field of battle. This was probably in imitation of the Israelites, who took the ark with them in such cases.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 48:7
7. in thy works and in thy treasures] “works” perhaps meaning results of work, gains. This is suggested by the word “treasures” which follows. Cp. ch. Jeremiah 20:5, where, however, the Hebrew (translated “gains”) is not the same. The LXX (and so the Vulg.) rightly read but one substantive (omitting “works”), and render, from what was doubtless the original form of the Heb., strongholds. “Works” is a later insertion referring to Chemosh. So Co. For “work” in the sense of an idol cp. Deuteronomy 4:28 and elsewhere. The exile of a people was considered to involve that of their deity. For Chemosh’s captivity cp.
Isaiah 46:1 f., and for the latter part of the v., Amos 1:15. Chemosh] the object of Moab’s national worship (Numbers 21:29; 1 Kings 11:7). If the god is powerless to prevent his own captivity, what chance is there for the people?.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 48:7
Works - Possibly the products of labor. The versions render fortifications.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 48:7
7. Because thou hast trusted in thy works — By “works” the old Versions understood fortifications, and this meaning falls in well with what we know of the life of Moab, which was famous for its fortresses and strongholds.
