Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 25:30-38

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

The Lord has just ground of controversy with every nation and every person; and he will execute judgment on all the wicked. Who can avoid trembling when God speaks in displeasure? The days are fully come; the time fixed in the Divine counsels, which will make the nations wholly desolate.

The tender and delicate shall share the common calamity. Even those who used to live in peace, and did nothing to provoke, shall not escape. Blessed be God, there is a peaceable habitation above, for all the sons of peace.

The Lord will preserve his church and all believers in all changes; for nothing can separate them from his love.
