Jérémie 49:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:10

But I have made Esau bare
By the hand of the Chaldeans; stripped him of everything that is valuable; of his cities, castles, villages, people, wealth, and treasure: I have uncovered his secret places;
where either his substance was hid, or his people; these were made known to their enemies, who seized on both: and he shall not be able to hide himself;
even in his deep places, in the caves and dens of the earth, but his enemy shall find him out: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours;
his children, as the Targum; and his brethren, the Ammonites and Moabites; and his neighbours, the Philistines; or as many as were with him, and belonged unto him: and he [is] not:
his kingdom is not; he is no more a people and nation, but all destroyed by the sword, or carried captive; or there should be none left of his brethren, and neighbours, and friends, to say to him what follows: "leave thy fatherless children" So Kimchi and Ben Melech say this phrase is in connection with the ( Jeremiah 49:11 ) .

Jérémie 49:10 In-Context

8 Fuyez, tournez le dos, retirez-vous dans les cavernes, Habitants de Dedan! Car je fais venir le malheur sur Esaü, Le temps de son châtiment.

9 Si des vendangeurs viennent chez toi, Ne laissent-ils rien à grappiller? Si des voleurs viennent de nuit, Ils ne dévastent que ce qu'ils peuvent.

10 Mais moi, je dépouillerai Esaü, Je découvrirai ses retraites, Il ne pourra se cacher; Ses enfants, ses frères, ses voisins, périront, Et il ne sera plus.

11 Laisse tes orphelins, je les ferai vivre, Et que tes veuves se confient en moi!

12 Car ainsi parle l'Eternel: Voici, ceux qui ne devaient pas boire la coupe la boiront; Et toi, tu resterais impuni! Tu ne resteras pas impuni, Tu la boiras.
