Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - And their dead bodies, etc. One of Jeremiah's repetitions (see Jeremiah 7:33).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) Their dead bodies shall be for meat . . .--As in Jeremiah 7:33; Jeremiah 16:4; Jeremiah 19:7, this takes its place as the extremest penalty of transgression. The sentence on Zedekiah and his princes--i.e., those who were more immediately connected with his policy--is as before (Jeremiah 34:5) somewhat milder, probably because he, though too weak and vacillating to stop the evil which the prophet condemned, had not been actively prominent in the transgression of the covenant, and showed more disposition, as in Jeremiah 37:17, to listen to his counsels.
