On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

What their conduct was towards God: Their goodness, or kindness, was as the morning cloud. Some understand it of their kindness to themselves and their own souls, in their repentance; it is indeed mercy to ourselves to repent of our sins, but they soon retracted that kindness to themselves, undid it again, and wronged their own souls as much as ever.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

I have slain them by the words of my mouth. " What the prophets did was done by the word of God in their mouths, which never returned void. By it they thought themselves slain, were ready to say that the prophets killed them, or cut them to the heart when they dealt faithfully with them.

So "thy judgments," that is, those inflicted on thee (Zep 3:15). are as the light, &c.--like the light, palpable to the eyes of all, as coming from God, the punisher of sin.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Hewed them - I have severely, and unweariedly reproved, and threatened them. By thy words - As I did by word foretel, so I did effect in due time.
