(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He shall burn them, and carry them away captives - Some of these gods, such as were of wood, he will burn; those of metal he will carry away. Some of them were of gold. See below.
Shall array himself with the land of Egypt - Shall take all its wealth, and all its grandeur; shall take all its spoils.
As a shepherd putteth on his garment - With as much ease, and with as little opposition; and with as full a confidence that it is now his own.
He shall go forth from thence in peace - He shall suffer no interruption, nor endure any disaster in his return from his Egyptian expedition. See the proof of all this in the notes at the end of Jer 44:30 (note).
