Jeremia 49:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:5

Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of
hosts
The terrible army of the Chaldeans, which should strike them with a panic; who thought themselves so secure in their fortresses, trusting in their riches: from all those that be about thee;
meaning either from the Chaldeans, and the neighbouring nations, that should join and surround the Ammonites on all sides; or from all the borders of Ammon round about, where they should come; they would be a "magormissabib", "a fear all round", ( Jeremiah 20:3 ) : and ye shall be driven out every man right forth;
driven out of their houses, and cities, and villages, and steer their course right forward, and never look behind to see what were become of their families and their friends; everyone having enough to do to provide for his own safety: and none shall gather up him that wandereth;
that is straggling about, and knows not which way to take, and whither to flee for safety; all will be so intent on their own safety, that they will not concern themselves for others, to take them under their care; to take those that are on foot upon their horses or carriages, whom they overtake; or into their houses, as they pass by.

3 Heule, Hesbon, denn Ai ist verwüstet! Schreiet, ihr Töchter von Rabba, gürtet euch Sacktuch um; klaget und laufet hin und her in den Einzäunungen! Denn ihr König wird in die Gefangenschaft gehen, seine Priester und seine Fürsten allzumal.
4 Was rühmst du dich der Täler? Dein Tal zerfließt, du abtrünnige Tochter, die auf ihre Schätze vertraut: "Wer sollte an mich kommen?"
5 Siehe, ich lasse Schrecken über dich kommen von allen deinen Umwohnern, spricht der Herr, Jehova der Heerscharen; und ihr sollt weggetrieben werden, ein jeder vor sich hin, und niemand wird die Flüchtigen sammeln. -
6 Aber nachher werde ich die Gefangenschaft der Kinder Ammon wenden, spricht Jehova.
7 Über Edom. So spricht Jehova der Heerscharen: Ist keine Weisheit mehr in Teman? Ist den Verständigen der Rat entschwunden, ist ihre Weisheit ausgeschüttet?
