Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 49:4

_ _ thy flowing valley — rather, “thy valley shall flow,” namely with the blood of the slain; in sad contrast to their “valleys” in which they had heretofore “gloried,” as flowing with milk and honey [Grotius]. Or else, as Margin, “shall flow away.

_ _ backsliding — apostate from Jehovah, the God of their father Lot, to Molech.

_ _ treasures — her resources for resisting the foe.

_ _ Who shall, etc. — Who can come ... (Jeremiah 21:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 49:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 49:4

Flowing — Either flowing with water, or plenty of corn and grass.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
