This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Zep_2:13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a wilderness.
Ver. 13. And he will stretch out his hand against the north] i.e. Against Assyria (which lay north from Judea), as is presently added by way of exposition. The Scripture sometimes hath its own interpretation annexed, as Joh_2:19; Joh_2:21; Joh_7:39. Howsoever, the Rabbis have this saying among them, Nulla est obiectio in lege quae non habet solutionem in latere; i.e. there is not any doubt in the law but may be resolved by the context.
And destroy Assyria] Cast this rod of his wrath into the fire, after that he had worn it to the stump (as that martyr said) upon other nations.
And will make Nineveh a desolation] See Nah_2:1-13, with the notes.
