Malachi 1:4
_ _ Whereas — “But if” Edom say [Maurer]. Edom may strive as she may to recover herself, but it shall be in vain, for I doom her to perpetual desolation, whereas I restore Israel. This Jehovah states, to illustrate His gratuitous love to Israel, rather than to Edom.
_ _ border of wickedness — a region given over to the curse of reprobation [Calvin]. For a time Judea seemed as desolate as Idumea; but though the latter was once the highway of Eastern commerce, now the lonely rock-houses of Petra attest the fulfillment of the prophecy. It is still “the border of wickedness,” being the resort of the marauding tribes of the desert. Judea’s restoration, though delayed, is yet certain.
_ _ the Lord hath indignation — “the people of My curse” (Isaiah 34:5). |
Malachi 1:4
Throw down — So he did in the times of the Maccabees. The border of wickedness — They will be a most wicked people, and so notorious, that all their neighbours shall brand them for it. Hath indignation — They will so highly provoke God, that his indignation will be kindled against them for ever. |
