10 "But I have stripped Esau bare , I have uncovered his hiding places So that he will not be able to conceal himself; His offspring has been destroyed along with his relatives And his neighbors , and he is no more .

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:10

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.
