This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The secure, incredulous, and atheistical among the judges of Israel are here spoken to especially, and the prophet assures them that God had sworn by himself that they should be punished, and in the manner he had foretold.
Saith the Lord the God of hosts; God assureth his prophet, that the prophet might attest it to his hearers.
I abhor, I look with detestation, and remember with loathing,
the excellency of Jacob; all that the seed of Jacob account a glory and excellency to them, and in which they do put their trust, all their external privileges and ceremonious worship.
And hate his palaces; in which violence is stored up, in which luxury abounds.
I will deliver up the city; Jerusalem, Samaria, and all the other cities.
With all that is therein, both persons and things; Assyria first shall sweep away all out of Israel and Samaria, and Babylonians next shall carry away Judah, Jerusalem, and all in it.
