Verse 14
14. bereave—so the Keri, or Hebrew Margin reads, to correspond to "bereave" in Ezekiel 36:13; but "cause to fall" or "stumble," in the Hebrew text or Chetib, being the more difficult reading, is the one least likely to come from a corrector; also, it forms a good transition to the next subject, namely, the moral cause of the people's calamities, namely, their falls, or stumblings through sin. The latter ceasing, the former also cease. So the same expression follows in Ezekiel 36:15, "Neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more."
