Jeremiah 30:16

Verse Jeremiah 30:16. They that devour thee] The Chaldeans.

Shall be devoured] By the Medes and Persians.

All that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.] The Assyrians were destroyed by the Babylonians; the Babylonians, by the Medes and Persians; the Egyptians and Persians were destroyed by the Greeks, under Alexander. All these nations are now extinct; but the Jews, as a distinct people, still exist.
