This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Ver. 30. In vain have I smitten your children.] My hammers have but beaten cold iron; ye are incorrigible, irreformable. See Isa_1:5. {See Trapp on "Isa_1:5"}
Your own sword hath devoured your prophets.] As it did in the days of Ahaz, Joash, Manasseh, of whom Josephus {a} saith, that he slew some prophet of God every day.
Like a destroying lion.] Cum saevitia summa, exuta omni humanitate. Ye have pulled them limb meal, and caused them to die piece meal.
{a} Lib. x. cap. 4.
