Jeremiah 49:18

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, saith Jehovah, no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein." — Jeremiah 49:18 (ASV)

Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof. —The destruction of the two cities named had become proverbial, as in Isaiah 1:9; Jeremiah 13:19; Amos 4:11. What is noticeable here is the mention of the “neighbour cities.” We may connect it with the fact that they are named as Admah and Zeboim in Deuteronomy 29:23.
