“I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.”
King James Version (KJV)
4:24 Trembled - He proceeds in his figurative expressions. Behold how the very mountains of Judea tremble! Moved - As easily as dust, or feathers in a whirl - wind.
4:25 No man - All being either slain, or carried captive, or fled.
4:27 Yet - In the midst of judgment he will remember mercy.
4:28 Mourn - Expressions to set forth the dreadfulness of the judgment; he makes the elements to personate mourners.
