Verse 10

10. So far from being allowed to enter on Israel's vacated inheritance, as Edom hoped (Ezekiel 36:5; Psalms 83:4; Psalms 83:12; Obadiah 1:13), it shall be that he shall be deprived of his own; and whereas Israel's humiliation was temporary, Edom's shall be perpetual.

Lord was there— (Ezekiel 48:35; Psalms 48:1; Psalms 48:3; Psalms 132:13; Psalms 132:14). Jehovah claimed Judea as His own, even when the Chaldeans had overthrown the state; they could not remove Him, as they did the idols of heathen lands. The broken sentences express the excited feelings of the prophet at Edom's wicked presumption. The transition from the "two nations and two countries" to "it" marks that the two are regarded as one whole. The last clause, "and Jehovah was there," bursts in, like a flash of lightning, reproving the wicked presumption of Edom's thought.
