Lift up your eyes, &c.— "Ye people of Judah, behold and reconnoitre the Chaldean army, coming against you from the north." The next words are addressed to the king and queen; see Jeremiah 13:18. He represents them under the idea of a shepherd, and the people under that of a flock. "What will you say when the Lord shall demand of you an account of the people committed to your trust? What will you answer, when the sovereign monarch shall see dissipated, diminished, weakened, destroyed, thy beautiful flock, or flock of thy glory?" which is explained by Proverbs 14:28.
