This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_49:11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve [them] alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Ver. 11. Leave thy fatherless children, &c.] Thus God speaketh to the profane Edomites in derision, but to all true Israelites in serious sadness: and so it is very comfortable, and must needs be a good stay of mind to a dying saint, as it was to Claviger, a dutch divine {a} He was held happy of whom Cassiodore saith, So many sons, so many counsellors to the state, {b} but he is happier that can say, So many children, so many of God’s clients, heaven’s heirs, &c.
{a} Selnec., Paedag. Christ., par. 2. p. 379.
{b} Quot dedit familiae iuvenes, tot reddidit Curiae consulares.
