Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is, etc. The passage is obscure, so obscure that we cannot avoid inferring that it is corrupt. "They come" could only refer to the Jews, but these would rather be said to "go out;" the Hebrew writers are particular in distinguishing between to "come" and to "go out." Besides, there is no grammatical connection with the preceding verse. The Septuagint omits "they come," but the passage still remains enigmatical.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) They come to fight with the Chaldeans . . .--The Hebrew construction is participial, and has the force expressed in English by "they" used indefinitely. The prophet sees, as it were, a sortie of the besieged, but it is doomed to failure, and the houses of the city are filled with those who were slain by the sword, as well as by the "famine and pestilence" (Jeremiah 32:24).
