2 Chronicles 36:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

But they mocked the messengers of God Of which see instances Ezekiel 11:3; Ezekiel 20:49. Misused his prophets Imprisoning and persecuting them as they did Jeremiah; or, seduced themselves by his prophets; that is, by the prophecies of his prophets, which they perverted, or misconstrued. An eminent instance of which we have in this, that because Jeremiah prophesied that Zedekiah should be led to Babylon, (Jeremiah 32:5,) and Ezekiel, that he should not see Babylon, (Ezekiel 12:13,) and therefore they believed neither, as the Hebrew writers relate. Till there was no remedy Because the people would not repent, and God would not pardon them without repentance.

2 Chronicles 36:16

16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.d
