Jeremiah 25:38
_ _ his covert — the temple, where heretofore, like a lion, as its defender, by the mere terror of His voice He warded off the foe; but now He leaves it a prey to the Gentiles [Calvin].
_ _ fierceness of ... oppressor — rather, as the Hebrew, for “oppressor” is an adjective feminine, the word “sword” is understood, which, in Jeremiah 46:16; Jeremiah 50:16, is expressed (indeed, some manuscripts and the Septuagint read “sword” instead of “fierceness” here; probably interpolated from Jeremiah 46:16), “the oppressing sword.” The Hebrew for “oppressing” means also a “dove”: there may be, therefore, a covert allusion to the Chaldean standard bearing a dove on it, in honor of Semiramis, the first queen, said in popular superstition to have been nourished by doves when exposed at birth, and at death to have been transformed into a dove. Her name may come from a root referring to the cooing of a dove. That bird was held sacred to the goddess Venus. Vulgate so translates “the anger of the dove.”
_ _ his ... anger — If the anger of Nebuchadnezzar cannot be evaded, how much less that of God (compare Jeremiah 25:37)! |
Jeremiah 25:38
Because — The effects of this rising up of God out of his covert is the desolation of the land through the fierceness of the enemy, caused by the fierce anger of God. |
