耶利米书 49:10 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 49:7-22

The Edomites come next to receive their doom from God, by the mouth of Jeremiah: they also were old enemies to the Israel of God; but their day will come to be reckoned with, and it is now at hand, and is foretold, not only for warning to them, but for comfort to the Israel of God, whose afflictions were very much aggravated by their triumphs over them and joy in their calamity, Ps. 137:7. Many of the expressions used in this prophecy concerning Edom are borrowed from the prophecy of Obadiah,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:10

But I have made Esau bare ,.... By the hand of the Chaldeans; stripped him of everything that is valuable; of his cities, castles, villages, people, wealth, and treasure: I have uncovered his secret places ; where either his substance was hid, or his people; these were made known to their enemies, who seized on both: and he shall not be able to hide himself ; even in his deep places, in the caves and dens of the earth, but his enemy shall find him out: his seed is spoiled, and his... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:10

Verse 10 As to the beginning of the verse, the meaning of the Prophet is not obscure; for he means that such would be the destruction of the people of Edom, that they would be spoiled by enemies, that they would become wholly naked. But he speaks in the name of God: Behold, I uncover Esau, and make open his hidden things By hidden things he means treasures, as it is evident from Obadiah. He then says that he would so expose the Idumeans to plunder, that there would be no hidden thing but that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 49:7-10

A startling picture of the judgment impending over Edom, the severity of which is to be inferred from the behaviour of the sufferers. Observe, no allusion is made by Jeremiah to any special bitter feeling of the Edomites towards the Israelites, such as is implied in Isaiah 34:1-17 ; Ezekiel 35:1-15 , and other passages. With regard to the fulfilment of the prophecy, we may fairly quote in the first place Malachi 1:2-4 . The agents in the desolation there referred to (still fresh in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 49:10

But , etc.; rather, for. The verse gives the reason why the destruction is so complete. "It is I, Jehovah, who made Esau bare," etc. "Esau," i.e. Edom ( Genesis 25:30 ). His seed; i.e. the Edomites. His brethren, or kinsmen; i.e. the Amalekites ( Genesis 36:12 ). His neighbours; i.e. the tribes of Dedan, Terns, and Buz ( Jeremiah 25:23 ). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 49:7-22

Edom stretched along the south of Judah from the border of Moab on the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean and the Arabian deserts, and held the same relation to Judah which Moab held toward the kingdom of Israel. Although expressly reserved from attack by Moses Deuteronomy 2:5, a long feud caused the Edomites to cherish so bitter an enmity against Judah, that they exulted with cruel joy over the capture of Jerusalem by the Chaldaeans, and showed great cruelty toward those why fled to them for... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 49:9-10

Jeremiah 49:9-10. If grape-gatherers come to thee, &c. The vintage is not usually gathered so clean but there will be a gleaning left, Isaiah 17:6; and house-breakers, or thieves, commonly leave something behind. But I have made Esau bare But the destruction coming upon thee will be so entire that scarcely a remnant shall be preserved. I have uncovered his secret places I have taken from him every thing that might be a refuge or defence to him, and laid open all the recesses wherein... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:7-22

A message concerning Edom (49:7-22)The Edomites, the descendants of Esau, prided themselves that they were cleverer than peoples of surrounding nations. They were confident that their country was safe against attack because its rugged mountains provided it with a good defence system. The prophet tells them that neither their wisdom nor their defences will save them from the destruction that God has determined for them (7-8).A vineyard worker picks the grapes that are ripe but leaves the rest; a... read more
