15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
15 "Now I will make you small among the nations, despised by mankind.
15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations, despised among mankind.
15 "Ah, Edom, I'm dropping you to last place among nations, the bottom of the heap, kicked around.
15 "For indeed, I will make you small among nations, Despised among men.
15 The Lord says to Edom, "I will cut you down to size among the nations. You will be despised by all.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:15
Commentary on Jeremiah 49:7-22
(Read Jeremiah 49:7-22)
The Edomites were old enemies to the Israel of God. But their day is now at hand; it is foretold, not only to warn them, but for the sake of the Israel of God, whose afflictions were aggravated by them. Thus Divine judgments go round from nation to nation; the earth is full of commotion, and nothing can escape the ministers of Divine vengeance. The righteousness of God is to be observed amidst the violence of men.
