For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
Ver. 10. For I have set my face against this city.] I have looked this city to destruction. I have decreed it, and will do it. When our Saviour set his face to go towards this city, Luk 9:51 he was fully resolved on it, and nothing should hinder him. See Leviticus 17:10; Leviticus 20:5 .
