This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_6:6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this [is] the city to be visited; she [is] wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Ver. 6. For thus hath the Lord of hosts said,] q.d., It is he who setteth these Chaldean warriors to work, and giveth them these words of command. So Totilas, Gensericus, and others, were the scourge in God’s hand, as now also the Turks are.
She is wholly oppression.] She was full of judgment, righteousness lodged in her; but now nothing less.
“ Nomen Alexandri ne te fortasse moretur,
Hospes, abi: iacet hic et scelus et vitium. ”{ a}
