Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 48:18

_ _ (Isaiah 47:1).

_ _ dost inhabit — now so securely settled as if in a lasting habitation.

_ _ thirst — Dibon, being situated on the Arnon, abounded in water (Isaiah 15:9). In sad contrast with this, and with her “glory” in general, she shall be reduced not only to shame, but to the want of the commonest necessaries (“thirst”) in the arid wilderness (Jeremiah 48:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 48:14-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 48:18

Dibon — Dibon, Aroer, and Ataroh were built by the children of Gad. It should seem the Moabites were not come into the possession of them. In thirst — It was a place well watered, but God threatens she should be in thirst, that is, driven into some dry, barren countries. The spoiler — The king of Babylon.
