Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 48:30

_ _ I know — Moab’s “proud arrogancy” (Jeremiah 48:29) or “wrath,” against My people, is not unknown to Me.

_ _ it shall not be so — The result shall not be so as he thinks: his lies shall not so effect what he aims at by them. Calvin translates, “his lies are not right (that is, his vauntings are vain because God will not give them effect); they shall not do so” as they project in their minds, for God will set at naught their plans.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 48:14-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 48:30

I know — He shall never execute what he thinks to do. But — His boastings and his lies, still never effect his designs.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 48:30

I know his wrath, saith the LORD; (q) but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].

(q) He will not execute his malice against his neighbours.
