The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
Ver. 11. The Lord hath accomplished his fury.] Which he had long deferred, but now hath paid it home. Cave ne ira delata fiat duplicata.
He hath poured out his fierce anger.] As it were by whole buckets or pailfuls. God's anger may be let out in minnows as there may be much poison in little drops. But woe be those on whom it is poured!
He hath kindled a fire in Zion.] His wrath is like fire, that furious element, which at first burneth a little upon a few boards; but when it prevaileth, it bursteth forth into a terrible flame.
