He thinks the end has at last come and God’s extremest punishment has begun, and once again he utters the wail which had before broken from his heart (Ezekiel 9:8). He had all along, it seems, hoped that repentance would follow these plain warnings, and forgiveness would be granted; but he now fears that the total destruction has commenced of which he had so long prophesied.
