38 Like a lion he has left his covert, for their land has become a waste because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:38

Commentary on Jeremiah 25:30-38

(Read Jeremiah 25:30-38)

The Lord has just ground of controversy with every nation and every person; and he will execute judgment on all the wicked. Who can avoid trembling when God speaks in displeasure? The days are fully come; the time fixed in the Divine counsels, which will make the nations wholly desolate. The tender and delicate shall share the common calamity. Even those who used to live in peace, and did nothing to provoke, shall not escape. Blessed be God, there is a peaceable habitation above, for all the sons of peace. The Lord will preserve his church and all believers in all changes; for nothing can separate them from his love.
