Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 32:24

_ _ mounts — mounds of earth raised as breastworks by the besieging army, behind which they employed their engines, and which they gradually pushed forward to the walls of the city.

_ _ behold, thou seest it — connected with Jeremiah 32:25. Thou seest all this with Thine own eyes, and yet (what seems inconsistent with it) Thou commandest me to buy a field.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 32:16-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 32:24

The mounts — Rather engines of war with which those nations used to batter walls, or to shoot great stones into places besieged.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 32:24

Behold the (l) mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest [it].

(l) The word signifies anything that is cast up, as a mount or rampart, and is also used for engines of war, which were laid on a high place to shoot into a city before guns were in use.
