Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 10:18

_ _ sling out — expressing the violence and suddenness of the removal to Babylon. A similar image occurs in Jeremiah 16:13; 1 Samuel 25:29; Isaiah 22:17, Isaiah 22:18.

_ _ at this once — at this time, now.

_ _ find it so — find it by experience, that is, feel it (Ezekiel 6:10). Michaelis translates, “I will bind them together (as in a sling) that they may reach the goal” (Babylon). English Version is best: “that they may find it so as I have said” (Numbers 23:19; Ezekiel 6:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 10:17-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 10:18

Sing out — It denotes with how much violence and ease the Chaldeans shall hurry away the people into Babylon. And therefore it is said at this once, I will make one thorough quick work of it. May find it so — Though they would never believe it, yet they shall actually find the truth of my threatenings.
