2 Kings 21:13
destroy <05186> [I will stretch.]
This metaphor is taken from the custom of using a line in measuring land, and in dividing portions of it among several persons. Samaria was taken, pillaged, and ruined, and its inhabitants carried into captivity: Jerusalem shall have the same measure.
<04949> [the plummet.]
wipe ....... wipes <04229> [I will wipe.]
I will empty Jerusalem of all its wealth and inhabitants, as truly as a dish turned up and wiped is emptied of its contents.
wipe ....... wipes ..... both sides <04229 06440> [wiping it, and turning it upside down. Heb. he wipeth and turneth it upon the face thereof.]
Jeremiah 7:14-15
trusting <0982> [wherein.]
destroy .................................... destroyed <06213> [as.]
drive ... out ........ drove <07993> [I will.]
people <02233> [the whole.]
Daniel 9:12
threats <06965> [confirmed.]
rulers .............. happened <08199> [our judges.]
heaven <08064> [for under.]
The destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and the condition of the Jews during almost eighteen centuries, have far more exceeded all the miseries of the capture of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, and in the Babylonish captivity, than those miseries exceeded the judgments inflicted on other nations; for the guilt of crucifying the Messiah, and rejecting his gospel, was immensely more atrocious than all their other transgressions.
