Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell To the grave, and the state of the dead; to the sides of the pit And lodged there in the lowest state of misery and degradation. They that see thee In this humbled and wretched state, shall narrowly look upon thee As not knowing thee at first sight, and hardly believing their own eyes, because of this great alteration of thy condition, a change which, to them, seemed next to impossible. Is this the man that made the earth to tremble All the nations of the earth? that did shake the kingdoms At his pleasure? that made the world a wilderness By slaying or carrying away captive its inhabitants, and destroying its produce: that opened not the house of his prisoners That did not restore them to their own country, as Cyrus afterward did the Jews; but kept them in perpetual slavery, Jeremiah 50:33. By this the prophet signifies both his irresistible power, and his continued cruelty.
