COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

6. I raise up —not referring to God's having brought the Chaldeans from their original seats to Babylonia (see on :- ), for they had already been upwards of twenty years (since Nabopolassar's era) in political power there; but to His being about now to raise them up as the instruments of God's "work" of judgment on the Jews ( 2 Chronicles 36:6 ). The Hebrew is future, "I will raise up." bitter —that is, cruel ( Jeremiah 50:42 ; compare Jeremiah 50:42- : , Margin; Jeremiah 50:42- : ). hasty —not passionate, but "impetuous." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
