The word of the Lord came, &c. God obliged the prophet, who had caused him to sin, to denounce a punishment against him for it, that it might the more affect him; nothing being more piercing than to be reflected on by those who have caused us to err. And he cried unto the man of God With a loud voice, the effect of his passion, both for his own guilt and shame, and for the prophet's approaching misery. Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord That is, the word of command coming out of his mouth; thy carcass shall not come into the sepulchre of thy fathers Thou shalt not die a natural, but a violent death, and that in this journey, before thou returnest to thy own habitation.
