Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
Jeremiah
Book: Jeremiah
Chapter: 47
Overview:
The calamities of the
Philistines.
- The
Philistines had always been enemies to
Israel; but the
Chaldean
Army shall overflow their land like a
Deluge. Those
whom
God will spoil, must be spoiled. For when the
Lord intends
to destroy the wicked, he will cut off every helper.
So
deplorable are the desolations of
War, that the blessings of
peace are most desirable. But we must submit to His appointments
who ordains all in perfect
Wisdom and
Justice.
