9. Then said I —at last when all means of saving the nation had been used in vain ( :- ). I will not —that is, no more feed you. The last rejection of the Jews is foretold, of which the former under Nebuchadnezzar, similarly described, was the type ( Jeremiah 15:1-3 ; Jeremiah 34:17 ; Jeremiah 43:11 ; Ezekiel 6:12 ). Perish those who are doomed to perish, since they reject Him who would have saved them! Let them rush on to their own ruin, since they will have it so. eat . . . flesh of another —Let them madly perish by mutual discords. JOSEPHUS attests the fulfilment of this prophecy of threefold calamity: pestilence and famine ("dieth . . . die"), war ("cut off . . . cut off"), intestine discord ("eat . . . one . . . another"). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
