This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_16:13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, [neither] ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
Ver. 13. Therefore I will cast you.] Jer_10:18. Because ye have sinned wilfully and willingly, ye shall be cast out of this land, though full sore against your wills.
And there shall ye serve other gods.] {a} Will ye nill ye (for a just punishment of your voluntary idolatries); being compelled by your imperious enemies so to do, except ye will taste of the whip, as now the Turks’ galley slaves.
Where I will not show you favour.] This was a cutting speech, and far worse than their captivity; like as that was a sweet promise, "They shall be as if I had not cast them off, and I will hear them." {Zec_10:6}
{a} Notatur poena talionis.
