Jeremiah 49:11 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. Leave thy fatherless children - The connection of this with the context is not easy to be discerned; but, as a general maxim, it is of great importance. Widows and orphans are the peculiar care of God. He is as the best of fathers to the one, and the most loving of husbands to the other. Even the widows and orphans of Esau, who escape the general destruction, shall be taken care of by the Lord.

Jeremiah 49:11

11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
