Bible Comments

Ye have feared the sword Of the Chaldeans; and have, to avoid it, courted them, and left my worship to follow their idolatrous rites: but this very sword will I bring upon you. And I will deliver you into the hands of strangers Defeating all your projects for escape; and I will execute judgments among you By the hands of the Chaldeans, whom I will make the instruments of my just vengeance. I will judge you in the border of Israel Namely, in Riblah, just upon the borders of Judea. In this place the king of Babylon, who is here spoken of as God's representative, sat in judgment on all the princes of Judah, and slew them: see the margin. This city shall not be your caldron The place of your sufferings; greater are reserved for you elsewhere.
