Theological / Devotional

Lord God of hosts. See on Jer. 7:3. God is able to fulfill His judgments, for He is the ruler of all the “hosts” of heaven, not only of the heavenly bodies, but of the celestial beings of every order and station.

Shall melt. Compare Ps. 46:6; 97:3-5; Micah 1:4; Nahum 1:5.

It shall rise. See on eh. 8:8.
