Jeremiah 4:8
"For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl,.... That is, because of this destruction threatened, which was so near at hand, and so sure and certain: for the fierce

anger of the Lord is not turned back from us. The Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it "from you" and some render it "from it" (u); from his purpose and design to destroy the Jews. Jarchi interprets this of Josiah, and his times, who, though he turned to the Lord with all his heart, yet the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his wrath and anger against Judah, Kg2 23:25 . (u) "ab illo", i.e. "ab illo proposito", Cocceius; "ab eo", Montanus.
