John Trapp on Obadiah 1:16

Verſe 16. For as ye have drunk upon mine holy mountaine] As you O Edomites, have rejoyced and revelled in the ruines of Zion, carouſing and carolling in her calamity, ſo ſhall many nations, and you among, yea above the reſt (for your exceſſive perfidy and cruelty) drink deeply of the cup of Gods fury, which hath eternity to the bottom.

and they ſhal be as though they had not been] This clauſe makes againſt that other ſenſe that ſome ſet upon the text, viz. The Heathen ſhall drink, feaſt, and triumph over thee, O Edom, whom they have ſubdued: yea they ſhall drink ſo ſtoutly that they ſhall ſwallow thee up, and all thy ſubſtance, leaving thee nothing Praeter coelum & coenum, as that Roman prodigall boaſted he had done to himſelf. Their expoſition ſeemeth more probable, who here begins the Conſolatory part of the Propheſie? and make this verſe an Apoſtrophe to the afflicted Iews thus.Aben-Ezra Tremell. Mercer. Levely[illegible: 1 letter] Tar[illegible: 3 letters]. Like as ye my people have drunk your part of the cup of affliction (an ordinary Metaphor, not in Scripture onely, as Ezek. 23.32. Ier. 49.12. Mat. 20.22. but alſo in Heathen Writers, in alluſion perhaps to the cup of poyſon given at Athens to Malefactours, or (as ſome think) to the manner of their feaſts whereat the Sympoſiarch, or ruler of the feaſt (Ioh. 2.) gave order what, and how much, every one ſhould drink) ſo ſhall all the Heathen drink, and that continually: yea they ſhall not only ſip of the top, that which is ſweeteſt and cleareſt; but the dregs and ſediment too, they ſhall both drink and ſwallow down; till ſuch time as it hath wholly ſwallowed them up, ſo that they ſhall be as though they had not been. See for confirmation of this ſence, Ier. 25.25. and 49.12. And pray for the ruin of Rome, ſo long ſince foretold by Sibylla. Tota eris in cineres, quaſi nunquam Roma fuiſſes. The Propheſie is fulfilled already in Edom; whoſe very name is loſt, more then what the Scripture reporteth of them. The Chaldees cut off abundance of them, together with the Moabites, Ammonites, and other neighbour nations. After that, Iudas Macchabeus, and his nephew Hircanus ſlew a great ſort of them: and then, laſtly, the Romans and other Princes rooted them utterly out. See Ioſeph. Lib. 1. Antiq. cap. 10. 1 Maccab. 5.65. 2 Mac. 10.16, 32.
