This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Diseases are sent whenever they come, especially wasting diseases, which empty nations and cities apace.
Pestilence; God’s arrow that flies from God’s bow.
Pour out; not drop or distil on a people in small measures, and by leisure, but in great measures, and hastily, as waters are poured out of a vessel all at once almost.
In blood: sometimes blood does denote war, but here, and in many other places, it denotes death and destruction of men, though not by the sword.
Man and beast; not that beasts die of the same pestilential disease which kills man, but either death of men by pestilence emptieth the nation, that there are not men to take care and provide for the beasts; or rather, because when pestilence wasteth men, murrains and plague of cattle, from the same infected air, and from the hand of God, waste the beasts also.
