This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_49:7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [Is] wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
Ver. 7. Is wisdom nowhere in Teman?] The Edomites, and especially the Temanites (of whom Eliphaz, Job’s friend, was one), were famous for wisdom, {Oba_1:8} which although it be of excellent use for putting things to the best, yet without the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom, {Pro_1:7} and his blessing, it proveth not only unprofitable, but pernicious also. It is, saith James, "earthly, sensual, and devilish." See what the Scripture speaketh of it. {Job_12:2; Job_12:12-13 1Co_3:18-21}
