This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
land mourn - personification (Jer 14:2; Jer 23:10).
for the wickedness - (Psa 107:34).
beasts - (Hos 4:3).
He shall not see our last end - Jehovah knows not what is about to happen to us (Jer 5:12) [Rosenmuller]. So the Septuagint. (Psa 10:11; Eze 8:12; Eze 9:9). Rather, “The prophet (Jeremiah, to whom the whole context refers) shall not see our last end.” We need not trouble ourselves about his boding predictions. We shall not be destroyed as he says (Jer 5:12, Jer 5:13).
