15. For--resumptive in connection with
Ob 10,
wherein Edom was threatened with cutting off for ever.
the day of the Lord--the day in which He will manifest Himself as
the Righteous Punisher of the ungodly peoples
(Joe 3:14).
The "all" shows that the fulfilment is not exhausted in the punishment
inflicted on the surrounding nations by the instrumentality of
Nebuchadnezzar; but, as in
Joe 3:14,
and Zec 12:3,
that the last judgment to come on the nations confederate against
Jerusalem is referred to.
as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee--the righteous principle
of retribution in kind
(Le 24:17;
Mt 7:2;
compare
Jud 1:6, 7; 8:19;
Es 7:10).
thy reward--the reward of thy deed (compare
Isa 3:9-11).
