(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

words - mere empty words.

swearing falsely in making a covenant - breaking their engagement to Shalmaneser (2Ki 17:4), and making a covenant with So, though covenants with foreigners were forbidden.

judgment ... as hemlock - that is, divine judgment shall spring up as rank, and as deadly, as hemlock in the furrows (Deu 29:18; Amo 5:7; Amo 6:12). Gesenius translates, “poppy.” Grotius, “darnel.”
