Jeremiah 47:3

Jer 47:3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong [horses], at the rushing of his chariots, [and at] the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to [their] children for feebleness of hands;

Ver. 3. The fathers shall not look back to their children. ] Though never so dear to them - φιλτατα the Greeks call them, and the Latins have their filius of φιλος - but shall be solicitous of their own lives only. Qui de Deo ne tantillum quidem fuerant solliciti.

For feebleness of hands. ] Through fear and fail of vital spirits, so as to forget natural affection also.
