ExplanationCommentary
Verse 7. They. Lit. “their supplication may fall prostrate before,” and so forth Bible.—It is personified. So Homer represents ( Calmet.) “supplications,” as daughters of Jupiter, lame, and with eyes averted, (Il. ix.) to shew how we ought to pray. Jeremias finds means to instruct the people: the word of God is not bound. 2 Timothy 2:9. Calmet.—As many refused to hear his discourses, God ordered him to write what might be a perpetual warning and reproach, or testimony against them. Worthington.
