It shall be unto them as a false divination— Houbigant renders this; But he [Nebuchadrezzar] seems to them [the Jews] as divining vain things, as boasting empty execrations: Nevertheless he shall call to remembrance the impiety [the falsehood and infidelity of their king Zedekiah], that they may be taken. The verse is extremely difficult; and the passage especially, To them that have sworn oaths, has not yet been decidedly understood by any commentator. Archbishop Secker supposes the oaths to have been false oaths which the Jews had sworn to the Chaldeans.
