Jeremiah 25:23

     23. Dedan—north of Arabia (Ge 25:3, 4).

      Tema . . . Buz—neighboring tribes north of Arabia (Job 32:2).

      all . . . in . . . utmost corners—rather, "having the hair cut in angles," a heathenish custom (see on Jer 9:26).

Jeremiah 49:32

     32. camels—their chief possessions; not fields or vineyards.

      in utmost . . . corners—who seemed least likely to be dispersed. Or else, "having the hair shaven (or clipped) in angles" (Jer 9:26; 25:23) [GROTIUS].

      calamity from all sides—which will force even those in "corners" to "scatter" themselves.
