2 Chronicles 36:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 36:16

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words,
&c.] Which was the treatment Jeremiah and Ezekiel frequently met with:

and misused his prophets;
imprisoned them, as Micaiah and Jeremiah were:

until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people;
which burned like fire in his breast, and broke out to the consumption of them:

till there was no remedy;
or healing of them; there was no reclaiming or recovering of them, no bringing them to repentance, and no pardon for them.
