Read and Think

Jeremiah 49 gathers short oracles against Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Kedar and Hazor, and Elam. Each nation had its own source of confidence. Ammon trusted in its treasures and had taken land that belonged to Israel's tribe of Gad. Edom prided itself on wisdom and on its cliffside strongholds.

God told Edom that the pride of its heart had deceived it. Though it made its nest as high as the eagle, God would bring it down. Damascus would lose its courage. The desert tribes of Kedar and Hazor, who felt safe without gates or bars, would be scattered. Elam's famous bow would be broken.

Two threads of grace run through the chapter. God promised to care for the vulnerable. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in me. He also promised to reverse the captivity of Ammon and Elam in the latter days. Even in judgment, God's mercy was not finished.
