This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
pass under the rod - metaphor from a shepherd who makes his sheep pass under his rod in counting them (Lev 27:32; Jer 33:13). Whether you will or not, ye shall be counted as Mine, and so shall be subjected to My chastening discipline (Mic 7:14), with a view to My ultimate saving of the chosen remnant (compare Joh 10:27-29).
bond of ... covenant - I will constrain you by sore chastisements to submit yourselves to the covenant to which ye are lastingly bound, though now you have cast away God’s bond from you. Fulfilled in part, Neh 9:8, Neh 9:26, Neh 9:32-38; Neh 10:1-39; fully hereafter (Isa 54:10-13; Isa 52:1, Isa 52:2).
