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 49:18

As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah ,.... Which was so sudden and general, that nothing was left, or any spared; so should it be with Edom: and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord ; the cities that were in the plain, Admah and Zeboim: no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it ; that is, of the race of Edom; no Idumean should inhabit it; otherwise those who conquered it should, and doubtless did. There seems to be some allusion to the Dead sea,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:19

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan ,.... The Targum rightly interprets it of a king and his army, paraphrasing the words thus, "behold, a king with his army shall come up against them, as a lion comes up from the height of Jordan;' not the king of Edom that should come up against Judea, or to defend himself against those that invaded him; but Nebuchadnezzar and his army that should come up against the Edomites from the land of Judea, where Jordan was, having... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:20

Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that he hath taken against Edom ,.... The decree of the Lord; the purpose and resolution he had taken up in his heart against the Idumeans, which was wisely formed, and upon just and good grounds: and his purposes that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman ; a principal place in Edom, the inhabitants of which were famous for their wisdom, Jeremiah 49:7 ; and therefore are here particularly mentioned; there being no wisdom, nor... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:21

The earth is moved at the noise of their fall ,.... Of the Edomites; whose fall was from the height of greatness and glory to a very low condition indeed; and as things, the higher they are from whence they fall, the greater noise they make, so it was with the Edomites; perhaps there may be some allusion to the falling of rocks and hills, with which Edom, abounded: this may respect either the noise and shout of the conquerors, when they fell; or the cry of the Edomites, when taken and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:18

As in the overthrow of Sodom - The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring cities was so terrible, that, when God denounces judgments against incorrigible sinners, he tells them they shall be like Sodom and Gomorrah. No man shall abide there - It shall be so desolate as not to be habitable. Travellers may lodge on the ground for a night; but it cannot become a permanent dwelling. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:19

Behold, he shall come up like a lion - See the note on Jeremiah 12:5 . The similitude used here is well illustrated by Dr. Blayney: "When I shall occasion a like commotion in her (Idumea) as a fierce and strong lion may be supposed to do in the sheep-folds, then I will cause him (the man of whom it is said in the preceding verse that he should not dwell in it) to run away from her as the affrighted shepherds and their flocks run from the lion." A chosen man - Nebuchadnezzar. That is,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:20

The inhabitants of Teman - Taken here for the whole of Idumea. These are a kind of synonyms which prevent monotony, and give variety to the poet's versification. Surely the least or the flock shall draw them out - They shall be like timid sheep; the weakest foe shall overcome them. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:21

The earth is moved - The whole state is represented here as a vast building suddenly thrown down, so as to cause the earth to tremble, and the noise to be heard at a great distance. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:18

Verse 18 He expresses more at large what he had briefly included in one word: he had said, that Edom would become a waste; but he now shews what sort of waste it would be, even such as that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and other cities; for God, as it is well known, destroyed the five cities against which he fulminated. And hence again we learn, that there was no hope left for the Idumeans; as though the Prophet had said, that their final overthrow was inevitable, because God would have them wholly... read more
