(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And thou - rather, “And if (carried on from Jer 4:1) thou shalt swear, ‘Jehovah liveth,’ in truth, etc.“, that is, if thou shalt worship Him (for we swear by the God whom we worship; compare Deu 6:13; Deu 10:20; Isa 19:18; Amo 8:14) in sincerity, etc.
and the nations - Rather, this is apodosis to the “if”; then shall the nations bless themselves in (by) Him” (Isa 65:16). The conversion of the nations will be the consequence of Israel’s conversion (Psa 102:13, Psa 102:15; Rom 11:12, Rom 11:15).
