(17) Edom shall be a desolation.--The words did not receive an immediate or even a rapid fulfilment. Idumaea was a populous and powerful country in the time of John Hyrcanus. Petra, as we have seen, was rebuilt by the Romans as a centre of trade and government, and had its baths, and theatres, and temples. But the end came at last, and there are few lands, once the seat of a thriving nation, more utterly desolate than that of Edom. From the ninth century of the Christian era it disappears from history (Robinson's Researches, ii. 575).Verse 17. - A desolation; rather, an astonishment. The word is from the same root as the following verb. The phrase is characteristic of Jeremiah, who has no scruple in repeating a forcible expression, and so enforcing an important truth (comp. Jeremiah 25:11, 38; Jeremiah 50:23; Jeremiah 51:43). What so "astonishing" as the reverses of once flourishing kingdoms! For the Bible knows nothing of the "necessity" of the decay and death of nations. The "covenant" which Jehovah offers contains the pledge of indestructibility. Everyone that goeth by it, etc. Another self-reminiscence (see Jeremiah 19:8). Jeremiah 49:17 delivers a sober, literal forecast: Edom’s pride and hostility toward God’s people will end in horrifying desolation, worldwide astonishment, and humiliating mockery. The scene affirms God’s unwavering justice, the certainty of His covenant promises, and the inevitable downfall of any nation or person that opposes His purposes. The passage stands as a billboard on history’s highway, warning every passerby that the Lord’s word never fails and urging us to choose humility and obedience while grace is still offered.
