Jeremiah 46:20
_ _ heifer — wanton, like a fat, untamed heifer (Hosea 10:11). Appropriate to Egypt, where Apis was worshipped under the form of a fair bull marked with spots.
_ _ destruction — that is, a destroyer: Nebuchadnezzar. Vulgate translates, “a goader,” answering to the metaphor, “one who will goad the heifer” and tame her. The Arabic idiom favors this [Rosenmuller].
_ _ cometh ... cometh — The repetition implies, it cometh surely and quickly (Psalms 96:13).
_ _ out of the north — (See on Jeremiah 1:14; Jeremiah 47:2). |
Jeremiah 46:20
A serpent — Egypt is now like an heifer that makes a great bellowing, but the time shall come when she shall make a lesser noise like the hissing of a serpent. With axes — For the Chaldeans shall come with an army, armed with battle — axes, as if they came to fell wood in a forest. |
