Bible Commentary for Jeremiah 49:9

Wesley's Notes for Jeremiah 49:9


49:9 If - Edom shall be totally destroyed; their destruction should not be like the gleaning of grapes, where the gatherers content themselves with taking the principal clusters: nor yet like the robbings of thieves, who take for their hunger, and when they have got enough leave the rest.
