Contextual Overview

⁹ Edom's rivers will be like hot tar. Its dirt will be like burning sulfur. Its land will be like burning tar. ¹⁰ The fires will burn night and day; the smoke will rise from Edom forever. Year after year that land will be empty; no one will ever travel through that land again. ¹¹ Birds and small animals will own that land, and owls and ravens will live there. God will make it an empty wasteland; it will have nothing left in it. ¹² The important people will have no one left to rule them; the leaders will all be gone. ¹³ Thorns will take over the strong towers, and wild bushes will grow in the walled cities. It will be a home for wild dogs and a place for owls to live. ¹⁴ Desert animals will live with the hyenas, and wild goats will call to their friends. Night animals will live there and find a place of rest. ¹⁵ Owls will nest there and lay eggs. When they hatch open, the owls will gather their young under their wings. Hawks will gather with their own kind. ¹⁶ Look at the Lord 's scroll and read what is written there: None of these will be missing; none will be without its mate. God has given the command, so his Spirit will gather them together. ¹⁷ God has divided the land among them, and he has given them each their portion. So they will own that land forever and will live there year after year.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,.... The Septuagint render it, "the valleys"; the word signifying both rivers and valleys, most render it rivers or streams. The Targum is express,

"the rivers of Rome shall be turned into pitch;''

by which may be meant the maritime places belonging to the Romish jurisdiction, the same on which the third vial will be poured, by which the rivers and fountains of waters will become blood; and which refers to this very time, when blood shall be given to the whore of Rome to drink, Revelation 16:4. The allusion, in this and some following clauses, is to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; see

Jeremiah 49:17:

and the dust thereof into brimstone; and so easily take fire:

and the land thereof shall become burning pitch: plainly pointing to the destruction of Rome by fire, Revelation 17:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the streams thereof - The idea here is, that there would be as great and awful a destruction as if the streams everywhere should become pitch or resin, which would be set on fire, and which would fill the land with flame. This image is very striking, as we may see by supposing the rivers and streams in any land to flow not with water, but with heated pitch, turpentine, or tar, and that this was all suddenly kindled into a flame. It cannot be supposed that this is to be taken literally. The image is evidently taken from the destruction of Sodom and Gamorrah (Genesis 19:25-28), an image which is more fully used in reference to the same subject in Jeremiah 49:17-18 : ‘And Edom shall be a desolation;... as in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the neighbor cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.’

And the dust thereof into brimstone - The ruin shall be as entire as if all the soil were turned into brimstone, which should be ignited and left burning.
