EXPLANATION

Verse 6. No mercy. Nehemias uses the like prophetic threats, 2 Ezra 4:5. Calmet.—“Every sin must be punished, either by the penitent, or by an avenging God.” The prophet supposes that his enemies died impenitent. Saint Augustine—When the gospel was first preached, God visited the world with various afflictions, to make people enter into themselves. Euseb.—The prophet prays that God would visit all nations with peace, and punish obstinate persecutors of the Catholic Church. Worthington.
