Jeremiah 49:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 49:14

12 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, ^athose whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk. And are you the one who will altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.

13 For ^aI have sworn by Myself,” says the Lord, “that ^bBozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a¹ waste, and a curse. And all its cities shall be perpetual² wastes.”

14 ^aI have heard a message from the Lord,
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!

15 “For indeed, I will make you small among nations,
Despised among men.

16 Your fierceness has deceived you,
The ^apride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
^bThough you make your ^cnest as high as the eagle,
^dI will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
^aEveryone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.

18 ^aAs in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.
