49:11 Leave thy {m} fatherless children, I will preserve [them] alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
(m) The destruction will be so great that there will be none left to take care of the widows and the fatherless.
49:7-22 The Edomites were old enemies to the Israel of God. But their day is now at hand; it is foretold, not only to warn them, but for the sake of the Israel of God, whose afflictions were aggravated by them. Thus Divine judgments go round from nation to nation; the earth is full of commotion, and nothing can escape the ministers of Divine vengeance. The righteousness of God is to be observed amidst the violence of men.
