EXPLANATION

Verse 5. Among. Septuagint ye despisers. Saint Paul nearly agrees with this version. Acts 13:41. The copies vary, as the Hebrew has done. Calmet.—The apostle gives the mystical sense; the literal is very obscure. Worthington.—God answers the prophet’s complaints, and shews that the Chaldees shall punish the guilty, and afterwards be themselves chastised.
