This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Literally, “Because, even because.”
swallowed you up - literally, “panted after” you, as a beast after its prey; implying the greedy cupidity of Edom as to Israel’s inheritance (Psa 56:1, Psa 56:2).
lips of talkers - literally, “lips of the tongue,” that is, of the slanderer, the man of tongue. Edom slandered Israel because of the connection of the latter with Jehovah, as though He were unable to save them. Deu 28:37, and Jer 24:9 had foretold Israel’s reproach among the heathen (Dan 9:16).
