<p> [[Wine]] was allowed to settle on them, to keep the body and color; especially the choicest wine (Isaiah 25:6). Hence, such phrases expressing ease and self indulgent prosperity as "Moab ... hath settled on his lees," i.e. has been like wine undisturbed, and not "emptied from vessel to vessel," never having been dislodged from his original settlement, "his scent (i.e. the bouquet of the wine) is not changed," "therefore I will send unto him wanderers that shall empty his vessels (i.e. cities) and break their bottles" (i.e. the men of his cities) (Jeremiah 48:11-12). The effect of undisturbed prosperity on the ungodly is to harden in undisturbed security (Zephaniah 1:12). Psalms 75:8, "the dregs (lees) of the Lord's cup ... all the wicked shall wring out and drink," i.e. they must drain out the whole cup to the dregs. </p> | |||

<p> Or dregs, the refuse and sediment of wine. Wines that have been allowed to stand a long time on the lees, thereby acquire a superior color and flavor. Hence such wines are used as a symbol of gospel blessings, Isaiah 25:6; also of a nation or community that, from long quiet and prosperity, has become rich and luxurious, and has settled down in carnal security, Jeremiah 48:11 Zephaniah 1:12 . To drink the dregs of the cup of God's wrath, [[Psalm]] 75:8 Isaiah 51:17 , is to drink it to exhaustion; that is, to suffer God's wrath without mitigation or end. </p> | <p> Or dregs, the refuse and sediment of wine.

<p> 'Wines on the lees' are wines left undisturbed on their sediment to mature. Isaiah 25:6 . The expression 'settled on the lees' is used figuratively of Moab, which had not been disturbed as other nations. Jeremiah 48:11 . Also for those who in [[Jerusalem]] remained indifferent and undisturbed amidst the evils upon which punishments were threatened. Zephaniah 1:12 . A very significant type of the poor apathetic world, and of the self-satisfied and unconcerned spirit of Christendom. </p> | |||

<p> Jeremiah 48:11 (b) These refer to the sins of Moab. The lustful practices of these people and their wicked ways had been disturbed by their enemies and so had accumulated as settlings do in the bottom of the wine jar. The same truth applies to Israel. (See Zephaniah 1:12). </p> | |||
