Daniel 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 9:12

And he hath confirmed his words which he spake against us
That is, he hath made good his threatenings of wrath and vengeance, in case of disobedience to his law: and against our judges that judged us;
kings, and inferior governors, that ruled over them, who perverted justice, and did not execute righteous judgment; and against them the Lord performed what he threatened: by bringing upon us a great evil;
the desolation of the whole land, the destruction of Jerusalem; the death of many by the sword, famine, and pestilence, and the captivity of the rest; all which was a great punishment considered in itself, but, when compared with their offences, was less than they deserved: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon
Jerusalem;
its walls broken down, its houses burnt with fire, even the palaces of the king and nobles, and the temple of the Lord itself; and all its inhabitants destroyed, dispersed, or carried captive; see ( Lamentations 1:12 ) ( Ezekiel 5:9 Ezekiel 5:10 ) .
