Jeremiah 49:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:14

I have heard a rumour from the Lord
"A hearing" ^F12; or a report concerning the destruction of Edom, made to him in a dream or vision, by the spirit of God, as a spirit of prophecy: and an ambassador is sent to the Heathen;
or a messenger; Jeremiah the prophet, as some; or an angel, as Kimchi suggests, sent to gather the nations to war against Bozrah; or a divine impulse, as others, with which the Chaldeans were impressed; which was as a voice to them, [saying], gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the
battle;
get your forces together, and come against Bozrah or Edom, to invade and subdue it; attack it in a military way, not doubting of victory; see ( Obadiah 1:1 ) .

Jeremiah 49:14 In-Context

12 The LORD proclaims: If the innocent must drink the cup, why do you expect to escape punishment? You won't! You will drink it!

13 I myself swear, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become an object of horror and scorn, a wasteland and a curse. And all of its towns will lie in ruins forever.

14 I have heard a report from the LORD that a messenger is sent among the nations: Join forces and come against her; prepare for war!

15 I'm about to cut you down to size before the nations; you will be scorned by everyone.

16 The terror you have inflicted on others has deceived you, as has your own pride. Though you live in a fortress and occupy the high ground; though you nest on high like the eagles, I will bring you down, declares the LORD.
