Gill's Notes on the Bible
Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation,.... Or, "to the nation [that is] at ease" s; the people that live quietly and in peace; have no wars with their neighbours, nor any among themselves; which seems to be the better sense of the word, for these Kedarenes were not a very wealthy people: these words do not express the counsel and purpose of Nebuchadnezzar; or are an address of his to his army, commanding them to arise, and invade the country of Arabia; for they are the words of the Lord, and are addressed to him and his army to go up in a hostile manner against the Kedarenes, here described:
that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord; not without the care of their flocks, or without providing things necessary for themselves and families; they were not an indolent people, that lived an idle and inactive life; but they dwelt "confidently", or "securely" t, as it may be rendered; they had no thought nor care to defend themselves from an enemy; they had no fear of any, imagining that no one would think it worth while to give themselves any trouble to invade them; their meanness they supposed was a protection to them:
which have neither gates nor bars; to their cities, or to their houses, being in no fear of an enemy to come and plunder them:
[which] dwell alone; being in no alliance with other nations; nor dwelling together in cities, towns, and villages, at least the common people; the greater part of them being scattered up and down, a few in one place, and a few in another; they dwelt for the convenience of feeding their flocks.
s אל גוי שליו "ad gentem quietam", V. L. Munster, Schmidt; "tranquillam", Junius Tremellius, Piscator "pacificam", so some in Vatablus, Pagninus, Montanus. t יושב לבטה "habitantem confidenter", V. L. Pagninus; "in fiducia", Montanus; "in fiducia magna", Vatablus; "secure", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Schmidt.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The wealthy nation - Or, a nation at rest, living securely and in confidence.
Which dwell alone - They dwell alone, i. e., have neither alliances with other nations, nor contact by commerce.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 49:31. The wealthy nation — גוי שליו goi sheleiv, "the peaceable nation"-
Have neither gates nor bars — The Arabs, who had nothing but their tents; no cities, nor even permanent villages.
