Jeremiah 49:19
_ _ he — Nebuchadnezzar, or Nebuzara-dan; the name would at once suggest itself to the minds of the hearers (Jeremiah 48:40; Jeremiah 46:18).
_ _ swelling — as a lion which the overflow of the Jordan forced out of his lair on the banks, to ascend the neighboring heights [Calvin]. See as to the translation, “pride of the Jordan,” see on Jeremiah 12:5.
_ _ habitation of ... strong — the fastnesses of Idumea (compare Numbers 24:21). Maurer translates, “An ever verdant (literally, ‘perennial’) pasturage,” that is, Idumea heretofore having enjoyed uninterrupted tranquillity; so in Jeremiah 49:20 the image is retained, the Idumeans being compared to “a flock,” and their king to “a shepherd,” in this verse, and the enemy to “a lion” (compare Jeremiah 50:17-19). English Version accords more with the Hebrew.
_ _ suddenly — “in the twinkling of an eye,” as the Hebrew implies.
_ _ him ... her — I will make Nebuzara-dan enter Idumea, and then, having in the twinkling of an eye effected the conquest, go away speedily: elsewhere. Instead of “but,” translate, “for.” Grotius translates, “run upon her,” or “to her,” instead of “run away from her.” Maurer understands it, “I will make him (the Idumean) run away from her” (that is, from his own land); the similar change of reference of the pronouns (Jeremiah 50:44) favors this.
_ _ who is a chosen man, etc. — God calls the choicest warriors to Him, to set “over” the work of devastating Idumea. God will surely execute His purpose, for He can call forth from all sides the agents He chooses.
_ _ who is like me? — (Exodus 15:11).
_ _ who will appoint me the time? — namely, for entering into a trial in judgment with Me (see Margin). Image from law courts (Job 9:19).
_ _ shepherd — leader of the Idumeans; following up the previous image, “a lion”; no Idumean shepherd shall withstand the lion sent by Jehovah (Job 41:10), or save the Idumean flock. |
Jeremiah 49:19
Behold — The Edomites shall come up fiercely against Nebuchadrezzar, but will suddenly flee, yea even from their own country. Appoint — Into whose hands shall I give that country. For who — For I can do whatsoever I please. Will appoint — And who will appoint me a time to plead with men? Who is — Where is that king or potentate that will stand before me? |
Jeremiah 49:19
Behold, (q) he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make (r) him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that (s) shepherd that will stand before me?
(q) That is, Nebuchadnezzar after he has overcome Judah, which is meant by the swelling of Jordan, will come against mount Seir and Edom.
(r) That is, the Israelites whom the Edomites kept as prisoners to hast away from there.
(s) The captain and governor of the army meaning Nebuchadnezzar. |

At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
Zechariah 11:3 [There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

- the swelling:

Joshua 3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
1 Chronicles 12:15 These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and toward the west.

Job 42:3-5 Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. ... I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Psalms 143:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
|
- that shepherd:
Jeremiah 30:21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who [is] this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
