And I will bring you out of the midst thereof
Jerusalem, the cauldron, as they said it was, and where they thought they should be safe; this is repeated, to express the certainty of it, and to excite their attention to it, and remove their vain confidence: and deliver you into the hands of strangers;
the Chaldeans: and will execute judgments among you;
punishments for sin, such as famine, pestilence, sword, and captivity.
