Chapter 49
Prophecies relative to the Ammonites. (Jr 49:1-6) The Edomites. (Jr 49:7-22) The Syrians. (Jr 49:23-27) The Kedarenes. (Jr 49:28-33) The Elamites. (Jr 49:34-39)
Verses 1-6 . Might often prevails against right among men, yet that might shall be controlled by the Almighty, who judges aright; and those will find themselves mistaken, who, like the Ammonites, think every thing their own on which they can lay their hands. The Lord will call men to account for every instance of dishonesty, especially to the destitute.
