| Jeremiah 48:31 | Therefore will I lament for Moab, and I will cry out to all Moab, for the men of the brick wall that mourn. | Brick wall. Hebrew Kir-cheres, (Isaias 16:7.; Calmet) "the city of the sun;" (Grotius) Ar, the capital. The prophet joins in the mournful canticle, as was usual, Luke 7:32. (Calmet) --- Those who boast of more than they have, are compared to an earthen wall. (Worthington) |
