This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rather, “Unless haply Thou hast utterly rejected us, and art beyond measure wroth against us,” that is, Unless Thou art implacable, which is impossible, hear our prayer [Calvin]. Or, as Margin, “For wouldest Thou utterly reject us?” etc. - No; that cannot be. The Jews, in this book, and in Isaiah and Malachi, to avoid the ill-omen of a mournful closing sentence, repeat the verse immediately preceding the last [Calvin].
