Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

He that is far off--namely, from the foe; those who in a distant exile fear no evil. he that remaineth--he that is left in the city; not carried away into captivity, nor having escaped into the country. Distinct from "he that is near," namely, those outside the city who are within reach of "the sword" of the foe, and so fall by it; not by "famine," as those left in the city.

Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

High places - The places of your idolatrous worship. Cast down - Before the altars of your idols, which you fly to for refuge. And - Thus the idols were upbraided with their inability to help their worshippers, and the idolaters, with the folly of trusting in them.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

He that is so cautious as not to venture out, but remains in the city, shall there die by the famine, the saddest death of all. Thus will God accomplish his fury, that is, do all that against them which he had purposed to do. They shall read their sin in their punishment; for their slain men shall be among their idols, round about their altars, as was threatened before,
