Jeremiah 49:9

Jeremiah 49:9

Judgment on Edom

7 ^aAgainst Edom. Thus says the Lord of hosts:
^b“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
^cHas counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom ^dvanished?

8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of ^aDedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.

9 ^aIf grape-gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?

10 ^aBut I have made Esau bare;
I have uncovered his secret places,
And he shall not be able to hide himself.
His descendants are plundered,
His brethren and his neighbors,
And ^bhe is no more.

11 Leave your fatherless children,
I will preserve them alive;
And let your widows trust in Me.”

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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 49:8

Jeremiah 49:10 >>

If - Edom shall be totally destroyed; their destruction should not be like the gleaning of grapes, where the gatherers content themselves with taking the principal clusters: nor yet like the robbings of thieves, who take for their hunger, and when they have got enough leave the rest.
