Charles Ellicott Commentary Jeremiah 49:13

"For I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes." — Jeremiah 49:13 (ASV)

Bozrah. —This, as in Isaiah 34:6; Isaiah 63:1, was one of the chief cities of Edom, probably identical with the modern El-Busaireh, halfway between Petra and the Dead Sea.
