Jeremiah 30:9

A church father on this verse
“This is the David of whom the Gospel speaks: "It will be granted to us, that, liberated from our enemies, we may serve him without fear in holiness and justice all of our days." For, just as the first Adam and the second Adam are described according to the truth of the body, so also with David and the Lord and Savior.…”

In context

7for by myself I have sworn, saith the Lord, that thou shalt be in the midst of her an impassable land, and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert forever.

8I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, saying, Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise ye up to war.

— Jeremiah 30:9 —

10Thine insolence has risen up against thee, the fierceness of thy heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring thee down.

11And Edom shall be a desert: everyone that passes by shall hiss at it.
