John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 48:14

"How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?" — Jeremiah 48:14 (ASV)

How say you, we [are] mighty and strong men for the war ?
] The Moabites were proud, haughty, and arrogant; boasted much of their strength and valour; of the strength of their bodies, and fitness for war, and skill in it; and of the strength of their fortified cities; and thought themselves a match for the enemy, and secure from all danger: for this their pride, vanity, and self-confidence, they are here reproved, since their destruction was at hand.
