Commentary on the Bible (1832)

I will judge thee - This seems to refer to Nebuchadnezzar, who, after his return from Jerusalem, became insane, and lived like a beast for seven years; but was afterwards restored, and acknowledged the Lord.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

When we speak to people about their souls we should study plainness, and express ourselves as we may be the best understood. Christ expounded his parables to his disciples, Mark iv. The prophet is here more plainly directed against whom to level the arrow of this prophecy.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Thy blood shall be shed not only in thy borders, but in the midst of thy land. Lastly, I shall be an irreparable ruin: "Though thou mayest think to recover thyself, it is in vain to think of it; thou shalt be no more remembered with any respect," Ps. ix. Justly is their name blotted out who would have Israel's name for ever lost.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Shall I cause it to return into his sheath--namely, without first destroying Ammon. Certainly not (Jer 47:6, 7). Others, as the Margin, less suitably read it imperatively, "Cause it to return," that is, after it has done the work appointed to it. in the land of thy nativity--Ammon was not to be carried away captive as Judah, but to perish in his own land.
