Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 48:25

"The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith Jehovah." — Jeremiah 48:25 (ASV)

The horn of Moab. — The horn of animals was naturally the symbol of their strength, and it was as natural that the symbolism should be extended to men and nations (Compare to 1 Samuel 2:1; Psalms 92:10; Lamentations 2:3; Daniel 7:7–8; Luke 1:69). The figure of the broken arm, powerless to grasp sword or sceptre, meets us again in Ezekiel 30:21.
