- and the people
- Jeremiah 5:22 ; 10:7 2 Corinthians 5:11
- be afraid
- or, run together. shall there.
- That is, Shall there be any evil, or calamity, (not moral evil,) inflicted on a wicked city, which does not proceed from me, as the effect of my wrath? These animated interrogatives were intended to convince the people that they had cause for alarm, as their monstrous iniquities called down the vengeance of God to punish them with these calamities.
