Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - I will prepare; literally, I will consecrate; the Babylonians being instruments of the Divine vengeance (see on Jeremiah 6:4).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) I will prepare destroyers.--The verb, as in Jeremiah 6:4, implies the idea of a solemn appointment or consecration.They shall cut down thy choice cedars.--The metaphor of the preceding verse is carried further, and the "choice cedars" are the princes of the royal house of Judah, and the chief counsellors and generals, as well as the actual columns of cedar-wood.
