Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - Rejoice and be glad. An ironical address to Edom, who is bidden to enjoy her malicious triumph, but warned that it will be but short lived. How ungenerously the Edomites behaved at the fall of Jerusalem we are repeatedly told (see on Jeremiah 49:7). In the land of Uz. As to the situation of Uz, see on Jeremiah 25:20. The cup; one of Jeremiah's images (see Jeremiah 25:15).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) O daughter of Edom.--The triumph of Edom in the downfall of Zion was, as in Psalms 137, the crowning sorrow of the mourner. But with this sorrow there is a vision of judgment, which is also a vision of hope; the prophet returning to his favourite image of the wine-cup (Jeremiah 25:17). On the "Land of Uz" see Notes on Job 1:1, Jeremiah 25:20.Shalt make thyself naked.--See Note on Lamentations 1:8, and comp. Nahum 3:5 for a bolder form of the same image. . . .
