Jeremiah 48:30

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

I know his wrath, saith the Lord,.... Against the Jews, and other nations; what he has threatened to do unto them, and would do if not restrained:but [it shall] not [be] so; as he has devised in his mind, and threatened in his wrath; all his swelling thoughts and big words shall come to nothing:his lies shall not so effect [it]; it shall not be according to his words; they will prove lies, and of no effect.

Kimchi interprets it of the sons of Moab, who shall not be able to do what they thought to do; and Jarchi of his mighty ones; and the Targum of his nobles, paraphrasing it,"and their nobles are not right, they do not as is becoming;''perhaps it may be better understood of his diviners and soothsayers, as the word is used in Isa 44:25; and be rendered, "his diviners have not done right" ; they have deceived him with their lying oracles; swelled him with pride; and brought him to ruin, he trusting to them.
