Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men. The parallelism-
Neither shall have mercy on their fatherless - shows that this means, He shall have no such delight in their youthful warriors, however much they be the nation's delight and reliance, as to save them from the enemy's sword (Isaiah 31:8: cf. Jeremiah 18:21).
Fatherless and widows - not even the usual objects of His pity (Psalms 10:14; Psalms 10:18; Psalms 68:5; Jeremiah 49:11; Hosea 14:3) shall be spared.
For everyone is an hypocrite ( chaaneep (H2611)) - rather, a libertine, polluted (Horsley).
And every mouth speaketh folly - wickedness (Psalms 14:1).
His hand is stretched out still - notwithstanding all these judgments, more remain.
