Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 8:16

_ _ his horses — the Chaldean’s.

_ _ was heard — the prophetical past for the future.

_ _ from Dan — bordering on Phoenicia. This was to be Nebuchadnezzar’s route in invading Israel; the cavalry in advance of the infantry would scour the country.

_ _ strong ones — a poetical phrase for steeds, peculiar to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 47:3; compare Jeremiah 4:13, Jeremiah 4:29; Jeremiah 6:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 8:13-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 8:16

The snorting — The fury of the Chaldeans march is described by the snorting of their horses, which is a noise they make through their nostrils. Heard — Even to Jerusalem. Have devoured — It is spoken in a prophetical style, who use to express the certainty of what shall be, as if it actually were already.
