This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_42:16 Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
Ver. 16. Then it shall come to pass, that the sword which ye feared shall overtake you there.] Categorice intonat propheta. God hath long hands; neither can wicked men anywhere live out of the reach of his rod.
And the famine whereof ye were afraid.] Egypt was very fertile, the granary of the world, and yet God could cause a famine there; he hath treasures of plagues for sinners, and can never be exhausted.
