Jeremiah 4:12

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them." — Jeremiah 4:12 (ASV)

A full wind from those places. —Better, a wind fuller than those, or, fuller than for this ... i.e., more tempestuous than those which serve for the work of the thresher, and blowing away both grain and chaff together.

Shall come to me. —Better, for me, as doing my pleasure.

Give sentence against them. — namely, against the sinful people of Judah and Jerusalem.
