This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thus; in this terrible and relentless manner already declared.
Mine anger; my provoked justice, not passion, shall be executed to the full of that I intend and have spoken.
My fury: after the manner of man is this spoken, and implies the great and hot displeasure of the Lord.
To rest; my bowels were troubled how to spare, and yet to punish, but now I will rest from such strugglings between my mercy and my justice; this shall be glorified, and I will be at ease.
I will be comforted; I did what in reason they could expect, and more than I was bound to, for their preservation; but nothing would prevail. O Israel, thou art destroyed, but it is my satisfaction thou hast destroyed thyself, and canst not charge it on me.
They shall know; these ruined ones by sad experience shall know.
In my zeal; in that indignation against your sins which the love of my own glory stirred up within me. In my provoked jealousy I spake, and will act against a persisting, perfidious, and adulterous wife, and it shall be known when I have finished my work.
