Jeremiah 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 13:14

And I will dash them one against another
As drunken men fall foul on one another, and quarrel and fight; or in allusion to bottles and earthen vessels they are before compared to; and may denote the internal broils and contentions among themselves, that instead of assisting each other in their distress, they would be destroying one another; which was notorious in the last siege of Jerusalem: even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord;
no relation, nor even age nor sex, being regarded: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them:
the Lord's hand was in all this; everything was by his permission, and according to his will; he would not prevent the enemy's invading, besieging, and taking them, nor hinder themselves from destroying one another; but suffer a general calamity to come upon them, without showing the least mercy to them, so great were their sins, and such the provocation.
