Bible Comments

Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord? Shall the women eat their fruit - as was threatened (Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:53; Deuteronomy 28:56-57; Jeremiah 19:9). And children of a span long? - or else, 'children whom they carry in their arms' (Maurer).
