Verse 30
In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Children — Your inhabitants in every city, they being frequently called the children of such a city.
Correction — Instruction: though they were corrected, yet they would not be instructed.
Your sword — You have been so far from receiving instruction, that you have, by the sword, and other ways of destruction, murdered those that I have sent to reprove you.
