This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





I have cut off the nations; of old the Canaanites, lately the ten tribes, later yet the Assyrians and others, have been cut off for their sins.



Their towers; either metaphorically, magistrates and great men, as Zep_1:16; or literally, strong towers built on the angles of walls or palaces.



Are desolate; razed and demolished. I made their streets waste; I overthrew their houses, that there were no streets.



None passeth by; or none walked through them. Their cities, small or great, capital or not capital, are destroyed; taken, plundered, burnt, and ruined.



There is no man; all fled, or slain, or starved, or swept away with pestilence, or carried into captivity, not an inhabitant left in the places.
