Verse 4
And I will not have mercy upon her children ,.... The posterity of the Jews in succeeding ages, until the time of their conversion comes; they persisting in the sins of their forefathers, filling up the measure of their iniquities; remaining in their obstinate rejection of the Messiah, and in the same impenitence and unbelief, and having his blood imprecated upon them:
for they be the children of whoredoms ; begotten and born in whoredom, spurious and illegitimate; or that commit whoredoms; imitate their parents; are guilty of the same vices; a generation of vipers. So the Targum,
"for they are children that commit idolatry;'
retain the traditions of the elders; go about to establish their own righteousness, and reject the Messiah.
Be the first to react on this!
