This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_49:19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me?
Ver. 19. Behold, he shall come up.] Nebuchadnezzar shall.
Like a lion from the swelling of Jordan.] As lions at such a time are forced to quit their dens near Jordan.
Against the habitation of the strong,] i.e., Against Idumaea.
But I will suddenly make him run away from her.] As having soon conquered her; or rather, I will suddenly make him overrun it - i.e., get above it, and become master of it.
And who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her?] Or, For I will give charge to him that is a choice one against her, i.e., to Nebuchadnezzar.
For who is that shepherd that will stand before me?] q.d., There is no standing before God, and his lion sent by him.
