The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 2. Holiness. He has none but himself to swear by. Hebrews 6:13. His word is infallible; but he condescends to use an oath to make a deeper impression on man.—Pikes; spits, or large shields. Hebrew also, “They will lead you away with hooks, (in the nose, Isaiah 37:29) and your children with fish-hooks,” or pots. You shall be treated like victims, being either roasted or boiled. No part shall be left.
