Therefore thou shalt devour men no more,.... Or they shall be no more destroyed in thee by pestilence, famine, sword, or other means:
neither bereave that nations any more, saith the Lord; or, "thou shalt not cause them to fall any more" k, for so it is written, as in
Ezekiel 36:15, though the marginal reading is, "thou shalt not bereave", which we follow; and both are to be received, since miscarriages often come by falls.
