This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This city, Jerusalem, though it suffered unparalleled hardships,
shall not be your caldron; shall not be the place of your sufferings; greater are reserved for you, you shall be tortured in a strange land.
I will judge you; do more against you, as at Riblah, 2Ki_25:6,7, where the captive king had his children and others with them first murdered before his eyes, and then his own eyes put out; and Riblah is called here the
border of Israel, for that Syria was adjoining to Israel on the north, and Riblah or Antioch was a pleasant city towards the frontiers of Syria, upon the river Orontes, which arising in Antilibanus runs through part of Syria, and for the delicacy of the seats it had many cities built on it. And here Nebuchadnezzar in his royal state, and amidst the pleasures of the place, expects the issue of the siege.
