On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

): Where is the dwelling of the lions? It is gone; there appear no remnants, no footsteps, of it. Where is the feeding place of the young lions, where they glutted themselves with prey?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back. 9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture. 10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

In the streets - Of Nineveh, when taken. Justle - By reason of their multitude and fury. In the broad ways - Where is most room, and yet scarce enough for them to move.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
