ExplanationCommentary
Verse 15. Wo. All this may refer to the king of Egypt, who deceived Joakim, Sedecias, and so forth Calmet.—Septuagint “O, he who giveth drink to his neighbour, a cruel overthrow, and who maketh,” and so forth—Nakedness. Septuagint “caverns;” deluding him, so that his places of retreat become useless. Bible.—The Jews relate that Sedecias was intoxicated, and then acted with indecency. Saint Jerome—But these accounts deserve little credit.
