Bible Question: what does this verse refer to or what is it about |
Bible Answer: Greetings Abel! This is an interesting verse. Basically, it is a statement of coming judgement upon Moab. Unlike Israel, Moab had experienced relative peace and rest. However, he had grown complacent. Jeremiah illustrates this by refering to wine. Grape juice was put into put into bottles or bags and allowed to ferment and settle. The dregs would sink to the bottom. After about 40 days, the wine would carefully be poured into another jar, to seperate the dregs from the wine. Moab was like an undisturbed bottle, but in v. 12, God warned that someone would come and break those undistrubed bottles. Thus, thing were about to change for Moab in a very dramatic way. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
