(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
no joy - the parallelism, “neither ... mercy,” shows that this means, He shall have no such delight in their youthful warriors, however much they be the nation’s delight and reliance, as to save them from the enemy’s sword (Isa 31:8; compare Jer 18:21).
fatherless, etc. - not even the usual objects of His pity (Psa 10:14, Psa 10:18; Psa 68:5; Jer 49:11; Hos 14:3) shall be spared.
hypocrite - rather, a libertine, polluted [Horsley].
folly - wickedness (Psa 14:1).
still - Notwithstanding all these judgments, more remain.
