Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 49:9

9 If grape-gatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if theeves by night, they will destroy till they have enough .

We have much the same Obadiah 5. the scope of the Prophet in this place is onely to shew that Edom should be totally destroyed, their destruction should not be like the gleaning of Grapes, where the gatherers content themselves with taking the principal clusters, but for single; grapes, or small clusters they leave them: nor yet like the robbings of theeves, who take for their hunger, and when they have got enough leave the rest.

Marginal references: Heb. their sufficiency.
