Jeremías 49:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:8

Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan
Another city in Idumea; though some take it to be a country in Arabia, bordering on Edom, and subdued by the Edomites: the inhabitants of this place are advised to "flee" for their lives, since the enemy was just upon them; and "turn back", lest they should fall into his hands; and hide themselves in some deep caverns of the earth, in holes, and dens of rocks, and such like places. It is a prophecy that they should flee from and turn their backs on their enemies, and betake themselves to some very secret places for safety; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him;
which was determined concerning him, threatened to him, and was his just desert; even the utter destruction of the whole land: the time of his visitation;
the time fixed to visit him in a way of wrath and punishment being come,

Jeremías 49:8 In-Context

6 Pero después restauraré el bienestar de los hijos de Amón declara el SEÑOR.
7 Acerca de Edom. Así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos: ¿No hay ya sabiduría en Temán? ¿Se ha perdido el consejo de los prudentes? ¿Se ha corrompido su sabiduría?
8 Huid, volved, morad en las profundidades, habitantes de Dedán, porque la ruina de Esaú traeré sobre él al momento de castigarlo.
9 Si vinieran a ti vendimiadores, ¿no dejarían rebuscos? Si vinieran ladrones de noche, sólo destruirían hasta que les bastara.
10 Pero yo he despojado totalmente a Esaú, he descubierto sus escondrijos y no podrá esconderse. Ha sido destruida su descendencia, sus hermanos y vecinos, y él ya no existe.
