This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





When they fast, I will not hear their cry; the like threatening we have Pro_1:28 Isa_1:15 Jer_11:11 Eze_8:18 Mic_3:4.



When they offer burnt-offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: men may so long despise God’s calls, exhortations, and counsels, as their case may be desperate, as to the prevention of temporal judgments by such religious applications to God as ordinarily have their effect to prevent and remove judgments. See Jer_15:1 Eze_14:14,20.



But I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; he threateneth to add to their plague three sore judgments, ordinarily accompanying one another, both in God’s threatenings, and in the execution of them, Jer_29:17,18 34:17, &c.
