"For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,"

Commentary

Matthew Henry Concise

📖

Summary

The restoration of the Jews, and the final victory of true religion over all opposers, appear to be here foretold.

Reflection

None ever hardened his heart against God or his church, and prospered long.

📚Read Complete Commentary

The restoration of the Jews, and the final victory of true religion over all opposers, appear to be here foretold. The contempt and scorn with which the Jews have often

been treated as a people, and the little value set upon them, are noticed. None ever hardened his heart against God or his church, and prospered long.
