Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

, where he pathetically describes the terrible famine that was in Jerusalem during the siege and the sad effects of it. The prophet here, to affect the people with the foresight of it, must confine himself for 390 days to coarse fare and short commons, and that ill-dressed, for they should want both food and fuel.
