8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
8 Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it down.'
8 And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city. They shall capture it and burn it with fire.
8 And then the Babylonians will come back and resume their attack, capture this city and burn it to the ground.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city, and take it and burn it with fire." '
8 Then the Babylonians will come back and capture this city and burn it to the ground.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 37:8
Commentary on Jeremiah 37:1-10
(Read Jeremiah 37:1-10)
Numbers witness the fatal effects of other men's sins, yet heedlessly step into their places, and follow the same destructive course. When in distress, we ought to desire the prayers of ministers and Christian friends. And it is common for those to desire to be prayed for, who will not be advised; yet sinners are often hardened by a pause in judgments. But if God help us not, no creature can. Whatever instruments God has determined to use, they shall do the work, though they seem unlikely.
