14:11 Never again signifies God’s protection (see note at 9:8).
14:12-13 The judgment of these verses recalls that inflicted on the army of Sennacherib during the reign of Hezekiah (2Kg 19:35).
14:14-15 These verses are a reversal of vv. 1-2 (cp. Hg 2:7-8).
14:16-19 Along with the promises of God’s blessings comes a reminder that humans may choose a path that will lead them away from what God offers. Rain will not fall on them is standard language of judgment.
14:20-21 The holiness once residing in the temple will be transferred to the entire city of Jerusalem. Canaanite was a pejorative term since the Israelites considered the Canaanites vile and morally reprehensible. But the Israelites had become “Canaanites” by their disobedience. The announcement that there would be no Canaanite in the temple signified the purity of God’s chosen people.
