Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Some deliverance. The Hebrew for "some" here is כִּמְעַט. There is plain authority (Ruth 2:7; Psalm 38:10) for translating this word as of time, and the rendering "a little while" of the margin, will, therefore, seem preferable. But see next note, and the" altogether" of ver. 12. It has often been most justly remarked what grateful note should be taken of the fact that God always is recorded as turning such a wistful, loving eye to any symptom of repentance (1 Kings 21:27-29; Jonah 2:5-9). Who can estimate the loss of men, that the symptoms have been so frequent, so comparatively easily found as compared with the reality of lastingness?

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) But I will grant them some deliverance.--Rather, and I will give them a few for a remnant. (Comp. 2Chronicles 12:12, "that he would not destroy him altogether.") For the phrase "to give a remnant," see Ezra 9:13. The word rendered "few" is kim'at. (Comp. 1Chronicles 16:19 : Isaiah 1:9.) The pointing kim'?t is peculiar to this passage.My wrath shall not be poured out.--Or, pour itself out, wreak itself. The phrase denotes a judgment of extermination. (Comp. its use in 2Chronicles 34:25.) . . .
