Jeremiah 43:12

12. I will kindle… he shall burn Because of the difference in person here, many critics have conjectured a change of one letter in the text, so that the true reading would be he shall kindle. This is unwarranted. Such conjectural emendations of the text should be rarely ventured upon or accepted. The great majority of the corrections of the Masorites themselves are now seen to be mistakes and not corrections. God kindles the fire; Nebuchadrezzar applies it to its purpose of destruction. Both God and Nebuchadrezzar were concerned in this work. Men have their purposes, which are often low, selfish, and wicked; God has his purpose, always wise and just.

And he shall array “As easily as any shepherd in the open field wraps himself in his cloak, so will he take the whole of Egypt in his hand and be able to throw it round him like a light garment.” Ewald.
