Jeremiah 8:3 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.

Death shall be chosen rather than life - the survivors shall be still worse off than the dead (Job 3:21-22; Revelation 9:6, "In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them").

Which remain in all the places - `in all places of them that remain, where I,' etc. - i:e., in all places where I have driven them that remain (Maurer).
