Bible Comments

The Lord God of hosts. — The solemn name (Jehovah Elohim Zebaoth) used for the second time in Jeremiah’s teaching (Jeremiah 2:19). The message is partly to the people — “Because ye speak this word,” partly to the prophet who was sent to bear his witness against them — “I will make my words in thy mouth.”

Jeremiah 5:14

14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
