The original word occurs here only.<\/p>\n Desolation – <\/B>Or, devastation.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 47. Fear and a snare<\/B><\/I>] See Clarke on Jer 48:13<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n All manner of misery was come upon them. They were seized first with fears and terrors; going to escape these they fell into a snare, or (as it is in the Hebrew) into a pit, out of which they could not get; they were wasted, made desolate, and destroyed. <\/P> <\/p>\n 47.<\/B> Like animals fleeing infear, we fall into the snare laid for us.<\/P><\/p>\n Fear and a snare is come upon us<\/strong>,…. Or, “fear and a pit” m; the fear of failing into the pit of ruin and destruction, on the brink of which they saw themselves; or fear seized us, and caused us to flee; and a snare or pit was prepared for us to fall into; so that there was no escaping hence:<\/p>\n desolation and destruction<\/strong>; desolation or devastation of their land; and destruction of their city and temple; and of multitudes of them by the sword, famine, and pestilence; and the rest carried into captivity, excepting a few left desolate in the land.<\/p>\n m “pavor et fovea”, Calvin, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Michaelis.<\/p>\n The Prophet largely dwells on the grievousness of the calamity which had happened. He compares here the anxieties into which the people had been brought, to a pitfall and dread. There is a striking alliteration in the words פחד and פחת, pechet and peched. But the meaning is, that the people had been reduced to such straits, that there was no outlet for them; as the case is with us, when we are filled with dread, and look here and there, and see nothing but pitfalls on every side; then we are at our wits’ end. Such then was the state of the people, as Jeremiah shews: filled with dread, they sought refuge, but saw pitfalls on every side. <\/p>\n He afterwards mentions desolation or destruction, and sorrow. It is probably a mistake in Jerome’s version, where the first; word is rendered “prophesying.” Some think that he was led astray by the letter ש, shin, which he seems to have read with a point on the left side; and he took the word as coming from נשא nusha. But another conjecture seems more correct, that the transcribers have committed a mistake; for what I have said is most appropriate to the passage, even that the people were overwhelmed with all kinds of evils, because there was nothing to be seen but desolation and sorrow, or bruising, or breach, שבר, shaber. It now follows, — <\/p>\n (47) Fear and a snare.<\/strong>A quotation from Jer. 48:43<\/span>, and Isa. 24:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n Desolation.<\/strong>Better, devastation. <\/em>The Hebrew noun is not found elsewhere, but the cognate verb in Isa. 37:26<\/span> is rendered to lay waste.<\/p>\n Lam 3:47 Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.<\/p>\n Ver. 47. Fear and a snare is come upon us.<\/strong> ] Heb., A pit; great terror, and no way to escape. See Isa 24:17-18<\/span> .<\/p>\n Fear and a snare. Note the Figure of speech Paronomasia (App-6).

Under the circumstances of enforced exile it was natural that Judah would be affected with fear, and the nation would realize it was in a snare or trap. That left their cities and country at home suffering the results of desolating ruin.<\/p>\n The results of God’s judgment for the Judahites had been panic. They had stumbled into pits that ensnared them. Devastation and destruction had become their allotment.<\/p>\n Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction. 47.
