Then take of them again; another division make of that little number, the preserved remnant. Throw some of them into the fire; they are not all to be saved who are delivered at the end of the siege. Burn them; literally burn the hair, but signify the burning them that are meant by it. In the fire of God's displeasure, and of civil war, or private conspiracy, as in Ishmael against Gedaliah, Jer 41. Thereof, from their sin against God, their discontents at their state, and conspiracies against their governor, appointed by Nebuchadnezzar, evil like another fire shall break out, which shall devour the most, and be near consuming all the house of Israel, as happened to them after Gedaliah's death, and their going down to Egypt, as Jeremiah 40:1-Jeremiah 44:30 Jer 46, under Johanan's revolt, which the Chaldean did revenge at last.
