Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander - rather, 'pourers out that shall pour him out' х tso`iym (H6808) wªtsee`uhuw (H6808)], retaining the image of Jeremiah 48:11; - i:e., the Chaldeans, who shall remove Moab from his settlements, as men pour wine from off the lees into other vessels.
Shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles. "His vessels" are the cities of Moab; the broken "bottles" the men slain. "Their bottles" are the men in the cities (Grotius). The Hebrew and the kindred Arab word means to turn on one side, so as to pour out and empty a vessel (Maurer).
