Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 49:31

_ _ wealthy — rather, “tranquil” (1 Chronicles 4:40).

_ _ neither gates nor bars — The Arabs, lying out of the track of the contending powers of Asia and Africa, took no measures of defense and had neither walled cities nor gates (Ezekiel 38:11). They thought their scanty resources and wilderness position would tempt no foe.

_ _ alone — separated from other nations, without allies; and from one another scattered asunder. So as to Israel’s isolation (Numbers 23:9; Deuteronomy 33:28; Micah 7:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 49:28-33.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 49:31

Arise — The result of Nebuchadrezzar's counsels, giving charge to his armies to march against the Kedarens, who lived at ease and took no care, nor had any neighbours that could assist them.
