Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 15:8

So many young men of military age would die that the land would be full of widows who would mourn the deaths of their sons (cf. 2 Chronicles 28:6). This judgment would constitute a setback in the promise to multiply Abraham’s descendants as the sand of the sea (Genesis 22:17). read more
