This phrase indicates the prophetic nature of the message, emphasizing that it originates from God. In the context of Jeremiah, the prophet often receives direct revelations from God, which he then communicates to the people. This underscores the authority and divine origin of the prophecy. The phrase "message from the LORD" is a common introduction in prophetic literature, signifying that what follows is not merely human opinion but divine instruction or warning.an envoy has been sent to the nations: The term "envoy" suggests a messenger or representative, possibly angelic or symbolic, tasked with delivering God's message to various nations. This reflects the biblical theme of God’s sovereignty over all nations, not just Israel. The idea of sending an envoy implies a formal and urgent communication, often seen in ancient Near Eastern diplomatic practices. This also connects to other scriptures where God uses messengers to convey His will, such as in <a href="/isaiah/18-2.htm">Isaiah 18:2</a> and <a href="/obadiah/1.htm">Obadiah 1</a>.“Assemble yourselves to march against her! The call to "assemble" is a summons for the nations to gather for a specific purpose, in this case, to march against a particular target. This reflects the common biblical motif of God using foreign nations as instruments of His judgment. The phrase suggests a military campaign, which was a frequent occurrence in the ancient world, where alliances were formed to confront common enemies. The "her" likely refers to Edom, as the broader context of <a href="/jeremiah/49.htm">Jeremiah 49</a> addresses the judgment against Edom.Rise up for battle!” This command to "rise up" is a call to action, urging immediate readiness and engagement in warfare. It highlights the urgency and seriousness of the impending conflict. In the biblical context, rising up for battle often involves divine empowerment or sanction, as seen in other instances where God commands His people or other nations to engage in battle (e.g., <a href="/judges/7-9.htm">Judges 7:9</a>). This phrase also foreshadows the fulfillment of God's judgment, as the nations are mobilized to execute His will.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his prophecies concerning the judgment of Judah and the surrounding nations.

As yet Edom feels himself secure in his rocky home. But a Divine impulse already stirs the nation, through whom Jehovah wills to humble the proud. Edom shall become a second Sodom. Verse 14. - I have heard a rumour. In Obadiah it is "we have heard," i.e. the company of prophets (comp. <a href="/isaiah/53-1.htm">Isaiah 53:1</a>, "Who hath believed our report?" according to one interpretation). Jeremiah, to justify his adoption of the outward form of his prophecy, declares that he is personally responsible for its substance. "Rumour," or as the word is elsewhere rendered, "report," is a technical term for a prophetic revelation (<a href="/obadiah/1-1.htm">Obadiah 1:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/28-9.htm">Isaiah 28:9, 19</a>; <a href="/isaiah/53-1.htm">Isaiah 53:1</a>; comp. <a href="/isaiah/21-10.htm">Isaiah 21:10</a>; <a href="/isaiah/28-22.htm">Isaiah 28:22</a>); and it is from this Old Testament usage that ἀκοή acquires its special meaning in <a href="/romans/10-16.htm">Romans 10:16, 17</a>. In fact, ἀκοή, or bearing, is a more exact equivalent of the original. A prophet is one who has "listened in the council of God" (<a href="/job/15-8.htm">Job 15:8</a>, corrected version; comp. <a href="/amos/3-7.htm">Amos 3:7</a>), and "when the Lord Jehovah hath spoken, who can but prophesy?" (<a href="/amos/3-8.htm">Amos 3:8</a>). Prophetic perception of Divine truth is so exceptional a thing that it can only be expressed approximately in terms of everyday life. One while it may be called a "hearing," a "report," another while a "vision" or "intuition." He who makes to hear or see is, of course, Jehovah, through the objective influence of his Spirit. It is important to study the Biblical phraseology, which has a depth of meaning too often overlooked, owing to the blunter edge which time has given to our modern speech. An ambassador; rather, a herald. Unto the heathen; rather, unto the nations. There is no religious idea involved; the word goyim literally means "nations," and there is no reason for deviating from the primary sense. In the next verse it is even more necessary to make this correction. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I have heard שָׁמַ֙עְתִּי֙ (šā·ma‘·tî) Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8085.htm">Strong's 8085: </a> To hear intelligently a message שְׁמוּעָ֤ה (šə·mū·‘āh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8052.htm">Strong's 8052: </a> Something heard, an announcement from the LORD; יְהוָ֔ה (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 an envoy וְצִ֖יר (wə·ṣîr) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6735.htm">Strong's 6735: </a> A hinge, a throe, a herald, erranddoer has been sent שָׁל֑וּחַ (šā·lū·aḥ) Verb - Qal - QalPassParticiple - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7971.htm">Strong's 7971: </a> To send away, for, out among the nations בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם (bag·gō·w·yim) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1471.htm">Strong's 1471: </a> A foreign nation, a Gentile, a troop of animals, a flight of locusts [to say,] “Assemble yourselves הִֽתְקַבְּצוּ֙ (hiṯ·qab·bə·ṣū) Verb - Hitpael - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6908.htm">Strong's 6908: </a> To gather, collect to come וּבֹ֣אוּ (ū·ḇō·’ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go against her! עָלֶ֔יהָ (‘ā·le·hā) Preposition | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against Rise up וְק֖וּמוּ (wə·qū·mū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6965.htm">Strong's 6965: </a> To arise, stand up, stand for battle!” לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ (lam·mil·ḥā·māh) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4421.htm">Strong's 4421: </a> A battle, war <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/49-14.htm">Jeremiah 49:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/49-14.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 49:14 I have heard news from Yahweh (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/49-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 49:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 49:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/49-15.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 49:15"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 49:15" /></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>
