Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none.
Ver. 25. Destruction cometh.] Not εξιλασμος ηκει, Mercy shall come, as the Septuagint ill render it, but utter excision, as when a weaver cutteth the web he hath finished out of the loom. Isa 38:12
They shall seek peace.] Of God, but all too late; of the Chaldees, but all in vain; for they were cockatrices, and would not be charmed. Jeremiah 8:17 ; Jeremiah 8:15 ; Jeremiah 12:12 ; Jer 16:5 Note here how Jeremiah and Ezekiel say the same thing, as being acted by the same spirit.
