(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
slew ... sons ... before his eyes - previous to his eyes being “put out” (Jer 39:7); literally, “dug out.” The Assyrian sculptures depict the delight with which the kings struck out, often with their own hands, the eyes of captive princes. This passage reconciles Jer 32:4, “his eyes shall behold his eyes”; with Eze 12:13, “he shall not see Babylon, though he shall die there.”
slew all ... nobles - (Jer 27:20).
