Jeremiah 6:2 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I have likened the daughter of Zion— There seems to be nothing in the simile in this verse, that can at all suit with the continuation of it in the third; and therefore I cannot but approve the interpretation which Houbigant and several others give; I have likened the daughter of Sion to pleasant pasture, wither the shepherds with the flocks come to feed, that is to say, "the Chaldeans with their army, who were to feed upon and devour Jerusalem." Houbigant reads the latter part of the next verse, They have pitched their tents near it, and they feed round it, every one in his place.
