On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Many of the prophets foretold their ruin, Jeremiah in this place, Ezek xxv, 12-14 Joel iii, 19 Amos ix, 11, 12, and others. Teman - Was a city of Edom. Dedan - Was a city of Arabia joining to Idumea, Isaiah xxi, 13, they being neighbours to the Edomites are called to flee, and to get into caves, where they might dwell deep in the earth and be in some security.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

It was a city of joy, where there was an affluence and confluence of all the delights of the sons of men, and abundance of mirth in the enjoyment of them. We read it (though there is no necessity for this) the city of my joy, which the prophet himself had sometimes visited with pleasure.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

city of praise--The prophet, in the person of a citizen of Damascus deploring its calamity, calls it "the city of praise," that is, celebrated with praises everywhere for its beauty (Jer 33:9; "How is it possible that such a city has not been left whole--has not been spared by the foe?" Compare left, Lu 17:35, 36.
