13 Verse 13.
Because it is
a trial] This will be a trial of
strength and skill between the Chaldeans and the Jews; and a
trial of faith and patience to the righteous.
And what if the sword, (Nebuchadnezzar,)
contemn even the rod?]
Overthrow Zedekiah? It will do so; for the regal government of
Judea
shall be no more. Or,
it is tried; that is, the
sword.
Nebuchadnezzar has already shown himself strong and skilful.
