Commentary
Commentary on Jeremiah 9:19
Theological / DevotionalSpoiled. Heb. shadad, “to devastate.”
Confounded. Literally, “ashamed.”
Forsaken the land. Rather, “left the land,” since this was not a voluntary departure.
Cast us out. This clause may also be translated, “They cast down our dwellings.” A slight change in pointing yields the translation, “Our dwellings were cast down.” The language of the KJV must be understood figuratively. The dwellings are represented as spewing out their wicked inhabitants (see Lev. 18:28; 20:22).
