This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





What counsel was by these men given appears by their words.



It is not near; either the threatened danger and ruin by the Chaldeans; or else, build, but not in the suburbs, not near, but in the city, that your houses may not shelter the enemy.



This city is the caldron: this is an impious scoff, yet mixed with some fear, of the prophets, Jer_1:13 Eze_24:6. They deride the prophets, yet secretly dread the thing. Jerusalem is the pot, we the flesh that are to be boiled therein; but this will take up some time however, we were better be so destroyed than to fall by the hands of the Chaldeans, who perhaps may roast what is not boiled here.
