Jeremiah 49:29 - Exposition

All the possessions of the nomad are here mentioned—first his tents and his flocks; then the hangings of which the tent is composed ( Jeremiah 4:20 ; Jeremiah 10:20 ), and the vessels which it contains; and finally the camels which the Arab rides, not to mention their other uses. All this shall be ruthlessly appropriated by the Chaldean invaders. Fear is on every side. Again Jeremiah's motto recurs (see on Jeremiah 6:25 ). It expresses here, not the war cry itself, but the result produced by it.
