SCRIPTURE

"The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations." — Jeremiah 46:1 (ASV)

The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against
the Gentiles .
] Or "nations"; distinguished from the Jews; not all the nations of the world, but some hereafter mentioned, as the Egyptians, Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Syrians, Arabians, Persians, and Chaldeans: or "concerning the nations" F16 ; the above mentioned; though the prophecies delivered out concerning them are all against them, and not in their favour. Mention is made of Jeremiah's prophesying against all the nations in (Jeremiah 25:13) ; after which follow the several prophecies contained in the next chapters in the Septuagint and Arabic versions, as they stand in the Polyglot Bible.
