Jeremiah 9:10
_ _ Jeremiah breaks in upon Jehovah’s threats of wrath with lamentation for his desolated country.
_ _ mountains — once cultivated and fruitful: the hillsides were cultivated in terraces between the rocks.
_ _ habitations of ... wilderness — rather, “the pleasant herbage (literally, ‘the choice parts’ of any thing) of the pasture plain.” The Hebrew for “wilderness” expresses not a barren desert, but an untilled plain, fit for pasture.
_ _ burned up — because no one waters them, the inhabitants being all gone.
_ _ none can pass through them — much less inhabit them.
_ _ fowl — (Jeremiah 4:25). |
