Commentary on Jeremiah 22:22

Theological / Devotional

The wind. A reference to the scorching east wind as typifying the calamity that would sweep over the land of Judah (see on chs. 4:11; 18:17).

Eat up all thy pastors. Literally, “shepherd all thy shepherds,” a characteristic Hebrew play on words. This prophecy indicated that the Babylonian invasion would destroy the princes and leading men of Judah.
