Commentary on Jeremiah 4:12

Theological / Devotional

A full wind from those places. Or, “a fuller wind than those,” possibly meaning a stronger wind than those useful for winnowing and cleansing. Such a wind would blow away the grain with the chaff.

Unto me. Literally, “for me.”

Sentence against them. This terrible east wind was a symbol of the judgments about to come upon the sinners in Judah and Jerusalem. He will “give sentence” not by word but by deed. In the Hebrew the pronoun here rendered “I” is emphatic.
