Ezekiel 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:25

Destruction cometh
Upon the temple, city, nation, and people; the king of Babylon, the destroyer of the Gentiles, and now of the Jews, being on his way, ( Jeremiah 4:7 ) ; and they shall seek peace, and [there shall be] none;
that is, the Jews will seek to make peace with the Chaldeans; but the latter will not hearken to them, but go on with the siege, till they have taken the city, put part to the sword, and carried the other captive.
