The "LORD of Hosts" emphasizes God's sovereignty and power over all nations, including Edom. This introduction sets the stage for a divine pronouncement, highlighting the seriousness and authority of the message. The historical enmity between Edom and Israel is rooted in <a href="/genesis/25-23.htm">Genesis 25:23</a>, where God foretells the struggle between the two nations.Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Teman was a city in Edom known for its wise men, as referenced in <a href="/obadiah/1-8.htm">Obadiah 1:8-9</a>. The rhetorical question implies a loss of wisdom, suggesting that Edom's renowned understanding and counsel have vanished. This could be seen as a judgment against their pride and self-reliance, as wisdom is often associated with humility and the fear of the Lord (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>).Has counsel perished from the prudent? The prudent, those who are typically wise and discerning, are depicted as having lost their ability to provide sound advice. This reflects a broader theme in Scripture where human wisdom fails in the face of divine judgment (<a href="/1_corinthians/1-19.htm">1 Corinthians 1:19-20</a>). It underscores the futility of relying on human insight apart from God.Has their wisdom decayed? The decay of wisdom suggests a moral and spiritual decline, not just an intellectual one. This aligns with the biblical principle that true wisdom is rooted in righteousness and the knowledge of God (<a href="/james/3-13.htm">James 3:13-17</a>). The decay could also symbolize the impending downfall of Edom, as their lack of wisdom leads to their destruction, fulfilling prophecies like those in Obadiah.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/edom.htm">Edom</a> A nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother, often in conflict with Israel.

Conquered by Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/14-47.htm" title="So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he vexed them.">1Samuel 14:47</a>), and yet more completely by David (<a href="/2_samuel/8-14.htm" title="And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants.

Amaziah and Uzziah endeavoured to reassert dominion over them (<a href="/2_kings/14-7.htm" title="He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel to this day.">2Kings 14:7</a>; <a href="/2_kings/14-22.htm" title="He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.">2Kings 14:22</a>), but under Ahaz they invaded Judah (<a href="/2_chronicles/28-17.htm" title="For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.">2Chronicles 28:17</a>), and in the reign of Zedekiah appear as an independent power seeking to ally themselves with that king against their common enemy Nebuchadnezzar (<a href="/jeremiah/27-3.htm" title="And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;">Jeremiah 27:3</a>). Soon, however, they allied themselves with the Chaldaeans, and were conspicuous for their triumphant exultation in the destruction of Jerusalem (<a href="/psalms/137-7.htm" title="Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.">Psalm 137:7</a>; <a href="/lamentations/4-21.htm" title="Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through to you: you shall be drunken, and shall make yourself naked.">Lamentations 4:21</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/35-15.htm" title="As you did rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do to you: you shall be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.">Ezekiel 35:15</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/36-5.htm" title="Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.">Ezekiel 36:5</a>). Obadiah had prophesied against them, probably shortly before Jeremiah's utterance, and what we find here stands in the same relation to his language as the prophecy against Moab in Jeremiah 48 does to Isaiah 15, 16. Possibly, however, as <a href="/obadiah/1-11.htm" title="In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.">Obadiah 1:11</a> seems to indicate, Obadiah was the later of the two. (See Introduction to Obadiah.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/49.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 7-10. - A startling picture of the judgment impending over Edom, the severity of which is to be inferred from the behaviour of the sufferers. Observe, no allusion is made by Jeremiah to any special bitter feeling of the Edomites towards the Israelites, such as is implied in <a href="/isaiah/34.htm">Isaiah 34</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/35.htm">Ezekiel 35</a>, and other passages. With regard to the fulfilment of the prophecy, we may fairly quote in the first place <a href="/malachi/1-2.htm">Malachi 1:2-4</a>. The agents in the desolation there referred to (still fresh in Malachi's recollection) are probably the Nabathaeans (an Arab race, though writing Aramaic), who, after occupying Edom, dropped their nomad habits, devoted themselves to commerce, and founded the kingdom of Arabia Petraea. Meantime the Edomites maintained an independent existence in the midst of the Jewish colonists, till John Hyrcanus compelled them to accept circumcision about B.C. 130. In spite of this enforced religious and political union, the Edomites remained perfectly conscious of their nationality, and we find them mentioned as a distinct factor in the community in Josephus' account of the great Jewish war. They pass away from history after the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 70. Verse 7. - Teman was celebrated for its "wisdom," i.e. for a practical moral philosophy, similar to that which we find in the less distinctly religions portions of the Book of Proverbs. It was this "wisdom" which formed the common element in the higher culture of the Semitic peoples, and of which the sacred narrator speaks when he says that "Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country" (<a href="/1_kings/4-30.htm">1 Kings 4:30</a>). One of Job's friends, Eliphaz, was a Temanite (<a href="/job/2-11.htm">Job 2:11</a>). From ver. 20, however, it appears that Teman is here used for Edom in general, of which it formed a part. "Wisdom" was doubtless cultivated throughout Idumaea (<a href="/obadiah/1-8.htm">Obadiah 1:8</a>), the "land of Uz," in which Job dwelt, was probably in the east of Edom (see on Jeremiah 25:20). Is their wisdom vanished? The Hebrew, with its characteristic love for material symbols, has, "Is their wisdom poured out?" So in <a href="/jeremiah/19-7.htm">Jeremiah 19:7</a>, "I will pour out [a different word, however, is used] the counsel of Judah." The body being regarded as a vessel, it was natural to represent the principle of life, both physical (<a href="/isaiah/53-12.htm">Isaiah 53:12</a>) and intellectual (as here), under the symbol of a liquid. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Concerning Edom, לֶאֱד֗וֹם (le·’ĕ·ḏō·wm) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_123.htm">Strong's 123: </a> The name of a condiment this is what כֹּ֤ה (kōh) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now the LORD יְהוָ֣ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel of Hosts צְבָא֔וֹת (ṣə·ḇā·’ō·wṯ) Noun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6635.htm">Strong's 6635: </a> A mass of persons, reg, organized for, war, a campaign says: אָמַר֙ (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say “Is there no הַאֵ֥ין (ha·’ên) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> A non-entity, a negative particle longer ע֛וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more wisdom חָכְמָ֖ה (ḥāḵ·māh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2451.htm">Strong's 2451: </a> Wisdom in Teman? בְּתֵימָ֑ן (bə·ṯê·mān) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8487.htm">Strong's 8487: </a> Teman -- a northern district of Edom, also an Edomite chief Has counsel עֵצָה֙ (‘ê·ṣāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6098.htm">Strong's 6098: </a> Advice, plan, prudence perished אָבְדָ֤ה (’ā·ḇə·ḏāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6.htm">Strong's 6: </a> To wander away, lose oneself, to perish from the prudent? מִבָּנִ֔ים (mib·bā·nîm) Preposition-m | Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_995.htm">Strong's 995: </a> To separate mentally, understand Has their wisdom חָכְמָתָֽם׃ (ḥā·ḵə·mā·ṯām) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2451.htm">Strong's 2451: </a> Wisdom decayed? נִסְרְחָ֖ה (nis·rə·ḥāh) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5628.htm">Strong's 5628: </a> To go free, be unrestrained, overrun, exceed <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/49-7.htm">Jeremiah 49:7 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/49-7.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 49:7 Of Edom (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/49-6.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 49:6"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 49:6" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/49-8.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 49:8"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 49:8" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
