Bible Comments

Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

Ye shall be driven out every man right forth - wheresoever chance may lead him (Jeremiah 46:5; Genesis 19:17); straight before him onward at random (Amos 4:3).

None shall gather up him that wandereth - there shall be none to gather together the wandering fugitives, so as to entertain them and restore them to their own homes.

Jeremiah 49:5

5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
