jeremiah 49:4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

jeremiah 49:4 "How boastful you are about the valleys! Your valley is flowing [away], O backsliding daughter Who trusts in her treasures, [saying], 'Who will come against me?'

4. thy flowing valley--rather, "thy valley shall flow," namely with the blood of the slain; in sad contrast to their "valleys" in which they had heretofore "gloried," as flowing with milk and honey [GROTIUS]. Or else, as Margin, "shall flow away."
backsliding--apostate from Jehovah, the God of their father Lot, to Molech.
treasures--her resources for resisting the foe.
Who shall, &c.--Who can come . . . (Jer 21:13).

jeremiah 49:4 "How boastful you are about the valleys! Your valley is flowing [away], O backsliding daughter Who trusts in her treasures, [saying], 'Who will come against me?'
