Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Obadiah 1:15

_ _ For — resumptive in connection with Obadiah 1:10, wherein Edom was threatened with cutting off for ever.

_ _ the day of the Lord — the day in which He will manifest Himself as the Righteous Punisher of the ungodly peoples (Joel 3:14). The “all” shows that the fulfillment is not exhausted in the punishment inflicted on the surrounding nations by the instrumentality of Nebuchadnezzar; but, as in Joel 3:14, and Zechariah 12:3, that the last judgment to come on the nations confederate against Jerusalem is referred to.

_ _ as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee — the righteous principle of retribution in kind (Leviticus 24:17; Matthew 7:2; compare Judges 1:6, Judges 1:7; Judges 8:19; Esther 7:10).

_ _ thy reward — the reward of thy deed (compare Isaiah 3:9-11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Obadiah 1:10-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Obadiah 1:15

The day — The time which the Lord hath appointed for the punishing of this, and other nations. As thou hast done — Perfidiously, cruelly, and ravenously, against Jacob.
