Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 48:11

_ _ settled on ... lees — (See on Isaiah 25:6; Zephaniah 1:12). As wine left to settle on its own lees retains its flavor and strength (which it would lose by being poured from one vessel into another), so Moab, owing to its never having been dislodged from its settlements, retains its pride of strength unimpaired.

_ _ emptied from vessel, etc. — To make it fit for use, it used to be filtered from vessel to vessel.

_ _ scent — retaining the image: the bouquet or perfume of the wine.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 48:1-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 48:11

At ease — The Moabites ever since they began to be a people, have been a quiet people. Settled — Like a cask of wine, that has not been racked but has continued in the same state. Not emptied — A metaphor of wine which is drawn out from vessel to vessel, when it is drawn off the lees. It is expounded by the next words. Therefore — And this is the reason why they retain their old sins, pride, presumption, and luxury.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 48:11

Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been (i) emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

(i) Has not been removed as the Jews have, but have lived at ease, and as a wine that feeds itself on his lees.
