This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
As we read the words they are a prediction, some shall escape, and a promise of some mercy in the escape. But if we read them as we may, And
flee ye that are escaped of them, in the imperative, they are a command to, or direction for, such as would escape, like that Jer_21:9.
On the mountains; wandering out of their proper place, and uneasy, like doves that are frighted out of their nests, and fly among the wilder sort of doves, which give them trouble and danger, such will be the state of escaped ones among savage idolaters.
Mourning; bemoaning themselves, and making a mournful noise, Nah_2:7.
For his iniquity; either for the punishment of their iniquity, so the worst of those that escape; or for their iniquity, cause of their punishment, so the best among them; or for both together: the mourning, though on different motives, yet should be universal, every one weeping.
