Context — Judgment on Edom

10But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more. 11Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”

12For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too.

13For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.” 14I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!”

Jeremiah 49:12 Summary

[Jeremiah 49:12 is a warning from God that no one can escape His judgment, and that all will be held accountable for their actions. This means that even if we think we are getting away with something, God sees everything and will punish sin. As it says in Romans 3:23, 'all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God', and we must all face the consequences of our sin. However, as seen in John 3:16, God loves us and wants to save us from His judgment, and we can trust in His love and mercy to forgive us and give us eternal life.]

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 49:12

For thus saith the Lord,.... This that follows shows that what goes before is not said by way of promise and comfort, but threatening: behold, they whose judgment [was] not to drink of the cup have

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 49:12

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:12

That by the cup is meant the wine cup of the Lord’ s wrath, and that by those whose judgment was not to drink of it are meant the Jews, is not to be doubted; but the question is, how the prophet saith that it was not the judgment of the Jews to drink of this cup? The word here used is of so various significations as makes the fixing the sense of it here difficult; it cannot here signify justice, for in that sense it was the Jews’ judgment to drink of it; nor can it here (as it often doth) signify the effect of justice, God’ s judicial dispensation; for they had drank of it, so it was their judgment. It must be taken in the most favourable sense imaginable. Either they who in regard of their relation to God, and God’ s relation to them, might have looked upon it as none of their portion, yet have drank of it; or, they who in comparison with others did not deserve to drink of the cup, yet have drank of it: and can you think to escape? No, thou shalt not escape, but most surely drink of it. , The time is come that judgment is begun at the house of God; and if it first begin with that, where shall the end of others be? When an Israelite hath not escaped the justice of God, an Edomite must not expect it.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:12

Jeremiah 49:12 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment [was] not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].Ver. 12. Behold they whose judgment, &c.] See Jeremiah 25:29 Obadiah 1:19.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:12

(12) Behold, they whose judgment . . .—The imagery is taken up from Jeremiah 25:15. Even those of whom it might have seemed that they were exempted, by God’s decree, from drinking of the cup of His wrath, had drunk. Could Esau hope for immunity? The thought is parallel to that of 1 Peter 4:17.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:12

Verse 12. Art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished?] A similar form of speech appears, Jeremiah 25:29. Others, less wicked than thou, have been punished and canst thou expect to escape? Thou shalt not escape.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 49:12

12. they to whom it pertained not] for the metaphor See on Jeremiah 13:12, Jeremiah 25:15.
