Here God turns his speech from the prophet to the people. Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil All thy riches and precious things shall be spoiled: there shall be no price taken for the redemption of them. For all thy sins in all thy borders All parts of the country, even those which lay most remote, had contributed to the national guilt, and all shall be brought to account. And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies, &c. They shall stay in their own country till they see their estates and all their property ruined, and then they shall be carried into captivity, to spend the remains of a miserable life in slavery. And all this is the fruit of God's wrath; for a fire, says he, is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you And, if not extinguished in time, will burn to eternity.
