On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Commentary on Chapter V 1. Take - Thus foretel the mourning, reproach, and deformity that are coming, for all this is signified by shaving the head and beard. A third part - Described on the tile, chap. iv, 1, a type of what should be done in Jerusalem.
