Context — The Judgment Against Edomgenerated
Jeremiah 49:16 addresses the inhabitants of Edom, warning them that their pride and the terror they instill have led them to be deceived about their security. The passage emphasizes that despite their high position, they will be brought low by the LORD. This theme of divine judgment against pride is echoed throughout the prophetic literature, highlighting the consequences of arrogance and self-reliance.

The Key Word — תִּפְלַצְתְּךָ, tif.latz.te.Khagenerated
The word תִּפְלֶ֫צֶת (tiphletseth) refers to a state of fearfulness or horror. It is derived from a root meaning 'to fear' and is used in contexts related to terror. In this verse, it describes the emotional response of fear that the prideful dwellers of Edom inspire in others.
This word's use in the context of divine judgment indicates that their actions have consequences, and their terror is not just a feeling but a direct result of their arrogance. The verse serves as a reminder that pride can blind individuals to their true state and lead them to a false sense of security.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of one main clause with several phrases elaborating on the subjects and actions. The finite verb הִשִּׁ֤יא, it has deceived, governs the sentence, indicating that the pride and terror of the heart have led to deception.
The structure emphasizes the relationship between the prideful actions of the Edomites and their consequences, illustrating how their elevated position will not protect them from divine judgment.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תִּפְלַצְתְּךָ as σου (sou), which carries a sense of possession and personal impact. This choice suggests a direct connection between the Edomites' actions and their fate, emphasizing their personal responsibility.
The translation highlights the continuity of the message across both Hebrew and Greek texts, reinforcing the idea that pride leads to downfall.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 49:16 warns the people of Edom that their pride and the fear they cause have led them to be deceived. They think they are secure in their high places, but the LORD declares that He will bring them down, just like an eagle's nest can be brought low.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that the fear they inspire in others has led them to believe they are invulnerable, causing them to overlook the impending judgment.
The eagle represents height and security, but the verse indicates that even from such heights, they will be brought down by the LORD.
The clefts symbolize a place of refuge and security, but the verse warns that such places will not protect them from God's judgment.
This verse aligns with the biblical theme that pride leads to destruction, as seen in other passages like Proverbs 16:18, where pride goes before a fall.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways have I seen pride lead to downfall in my own life or in the lives of others?
- How can I ensure that I remain humble and aware of my own vulnerabilities?
- What steps can I take to avoid being deceived by my own sense of security?
- How does understanding this verse help me to trust in God's judgment rather than my own strength?

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Thy terribleness hath deceived thee.—The substantive does not occur elsewhere. Etymo-logically it may mean “terror of,” or “object of terror;” but a cognate word is found in 1 Kings 15:13; 2 Chronicles 15:16 in the sense of an “idol,” probably of the Phallic or Priapus type, and that is probably the meaning. Such an idol is called scornfully the horror of Edom, just as the God of Israel was “the fear of Isaac” (Genesis 31:42). So Milton speaks of Chemosh as the “obscene dread of Moab’s sons” (Par. Lost, I. 406.) O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock.—Better, perhaps, in the fortresses of Sela. The words describe with a wonderful vividness the aspect of the rock-fortresses of…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.

e'-g'-l (nesher; aetos; Latin aquila): A bird of the genus aquila of the family falconidae.
The Hebrew nesher, meaning "to tear with the beak," is almost invariably translated "eagle," throughout the Bible; yet many of the most important references compel the admission that the bird to which they applied was a vulture.
There were many large birds and carrion eaters flocking over Palestine, attracted by the offal from animals slaughtered for tribal feasts and continuous sacrifice. The eagle family could not be separated from the vultures by their habit of feeding, for they ate the offal from slaughter as well as the vultures. One distinction always holds good. Eagles never flock. They select the tallest trees of the forest, the topmost crag of the mountain, and pairs live in solitude, hunting and feeding singly, whenever possible carrying their prey to the nest so that the young may gain…

At least four distinct kinds of eagles have been observed in Palestine, viz., the golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos , the spotted eagle, Aquila naevia , the imperial eagle, Aquila heliaca , and the very common Circaetos gallicus . The Hebrew nesher may stand for any of these different species, though perhaps more particular reference to the golden and imperial eagles and the griffon vulture may be intended. The passage in Micah, (Micah 1:16) "enlarge thy baldness as the eagle," may refer to the griffon vulture, Vultur fulvus , in which case the simile is peculiarly appropriate, for the whole head and neck of this bird are destitute of true feathers.

There are several species of eagle described by naturalists, and it is probable that this word in the Bible comprehends more than one of these. The noble eastern species, called by Mr. Bruce "the golden eagle," measures eight feet four inches from wing to wing; and from the tip of his tail to the point of his beak, when dead, four feet seven inches. Of all known birds, the eagle flies not only the highest, Pr 23:5 Jer 49:16 Ob 1:4, but also with the greatest rapidity. To this circumstance there are several striking allusions in the sacred volume,
