Verse 7
"Shall perish" - אבדו abadu or אבדה abadeh . This word seems to have been lost out of the text: it is supplied by the parallel place, Jeremiah 48:36 . The Syriac expresses it by עבר aber , praeteriit , "he hath passed;" and the Chaldee by יתבזזון yithbazezun , diripientur .
To the brook of the willows "To the valley of willows" - That is, to Babylon. Hieron. and Jarchi in loc ., both referring to Psalm 137:2 . So likewise Prideaux, Le Clerc, etc.
