耶利米書 49:7-10 RCUVTS

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 49:7

Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts ,.... Or, "unto Edom" F9 לאדום "ad Idumeam", V. L. "ad Edom", Pagninus, Montanus. , thus saith the Lord; or, "against Edom" F11 "Contra", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Schmidt. ; all which is true, as observed on Jeremiah 49:1 ; meaning the Idumeans, the posterity of Esau, who was called Edom. Kimchi thinks this respects time yet future, and points at the destruction of Rome, and the Romans, who with the Jews frequently go by... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:8

Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan ,.... Another city in Idumea; though some take it to be a country in Arabia, bordering on Edom, and subdued by the Edomites: the inhabitants of this place are advised to "flee" for their lives, since the enemy was just upon them; and "turn back", lest they should fall into his hands; and hide themselves in some deep caverns of the earth, in holes, and dens of rocks, and such like places. It is a prophecy that they should flee from and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:9

If grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes ?.... If gatherers of grapes, at the time of the vintage, should come into thy fields to gather the grapes, being ripe, would not they leave some for the poor to glean? certainly they would, and not take every cluster. The Targum renders it, "if thy spoilers, as grape gatherers, should come to thee,' &c.; if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough ; who break into houses by night, these... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:8

Dwell deep - An allusion to the custom of the Arabs, who, when about to be attacked by a powerful foe, strike their tents, pack up their utensils, lade their camels, which they can do in a couple of hours, and set off to the great desert, and so bury themselves in it that no enemy either will or can pursue, as it is the Arabs alone that know the deserts, and can find water and provender for their support. Dedan - Was a city of Idumea, not far from Teman. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:7

Verse 7 Here Jeremiah turns to Idumeans, who were most inveterate enemies to the chosen people, though their origin ought to have disposed them to show kindness to them, for they had descended from the same father, even Abraham. The Idumeans also gloried in their holy descent, and had circumcision in common with the Jews. It was then a most impious cruelty that the Idumeans entertained such bitter hatred towards their own blood. Hence our Prophet most severely reproved them, as also did Ezekiel... read more
