This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
prophets ... before me - Hosea, Joel, Amos, and others.
evil - a few manuscripts, read “famine,” which is more usually associated with the specification of war and pestilence (Jer 15:2; Jer 18:21; Jer 27:8, Jer 27:13). But evil here includes all the calamities flowing from war, not merely famine, but also desolation, etc. Evil, being the more difficult reading, is less likely to be the interpolated one than famine, which probably originated in copying the parallel passages.
