Commentary on Jeremiah 4:28

Theological / Devotional

For this. The elements of nature are personified and represented as mourning over the desolation of the earth.

Be black. The heavens are represented as shrouding themselves in dark clouds of mourning for the desolate earth.

Because I have spoken. The coming woe was as certain as the sinful condition that called forth the punishment.
