Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
Ver. 14. When the whole earth rejoiceth,] scil, For my people's deliverances. Or, When the whole land, scil., of Israel, rejoiceth; as it is sometimes hale and well with the Church, when the wicked are in the suds. Judea was the world of the world, as Athens was the "Epitome of Greece," the "Greece of Greece."
