This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Lord; who changeth not, whose words and purposes are immutably true and stedfast, who hath often told you, that unless you repent he will punish for your sins, now he hath sworn it, and sends you word by me, that he hath in most solemn and irrevocable manner determined, published, and expressly declared that he will visit all your sins upon you.
By the excellency of Jacob; by himself, for God cannot swear by any greater, and he is called the excellency of Jacob, Psa_47:4.
Surely, Heb. If; if I am a God, I will remember and punish.
I will never forget, or let pass unpunished; I will never remit the punishment by an act of pardon, nor ever omit to punish by an act of forgetfulness.
Any of their works; not one of all those their abominable injustices and irreligion, not one of these cruelties.
