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 de esto,cambiaré la suerte de los amonitas»,afirma el SEÑOR.

7 Así dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso acerca de Edom:«¿Ya no hay sabiduría en Temán?¿Se acabó el consejo de los inteligentes?¿Acaso se ha echado a perder su sabiduría?

8 Habitantes de Dedán:¡Huyan, vuélvanse atrás!¡Escóndanse en lo más profundo de la tierra!Yo provocaré un desastre sobre Esaú,pues le llegó la hora del castigo.

9 Si los vendimiadores llegaran a ti,¿no te dejarían algunos racimos?Si de noche te llegaran ladrones,¿no se llevarían solo lo que pudieran?

10 Pero yo despojaré por completo a Esaú;descubriré sus escondites, y no podrá ocultarse.Sus hijos, parientes y vecinos,serán destruidos y dejarán de existir.
