Jehovah, in vengeance for their rejection of Messiah, gave them over to intestine feuds and Roman rule. The Zealots and other factious Jews expelled and slew one another by turns at the last invasion by Rome.
his king--Vespasian or Titus: they themselves (Joh 19:15) had said, unconsciously realizing Zechariah's words, identifying Rome's king with Judah's ("his") king, "We have no king but CÃ&brvbr;sar." God took them at their word, and gave them the Roman king, who "smote (literally, 'dashed in pieces') their land," breaking up their polity, when they rejected their true King who would have saved them. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For I will no more pity - Therefore were they a "flock of the slaughter," because God would "have no pity" on those who went after shepherds "who had no Pity" upon them, but corrupted them; who "entered not in themselves, and those who were entering in, they hindered" Luk 11:52.
The inhabitants of the land - "That land, of which he had been speaking," Judaea. "And lo." God, by this word, "lo," always commands heed to His great doings with man; I, I, Myself, visibly interposing, "will deliver man," the whole race of inhabitants, "every one into his neighbor's hand," by confusion and strife and hatred within, "and into the hand of his king," him whom they chose and took as their own king, when they rejected Christ as their King, repudiating the title which Pilate gave Him, to move their pity. Whereas He, their Lord and God, was their King, they formally "denied Him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go; they denied the Holy One and the Just" Act 3:13-14, and said, "We have no king but Caesar" Joh 19:15.
And they - The king without and the wild savages within, "shall smite," bruise, crush in pieces, like a broken vessel, "the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver" them. Their captivity shall be without remedy or end. Holy Scripture often says, "there is no deliverer Jdg 18:28; Sa2 14:6; Job 5:4; Psa 7:3; Psa 50:22; Psa 71:11; Isa 5:29; Isa 42:22; Hos 5:14, Mic 5:7-8, or "none can deliver out of My hand" Deu 32:39; Job 10:7; Psa 50:22; Psa 71:11; Isa 43:13; Dan 8:4, Dan 8:7, or, since God delighteth in doing good, I Exo 6:6; Kg2 20:6; Jer 15:21; Jer 39:17; Eze 34:27, He Sa1 7:3; Psa 18:15; Psa 72:12; Kg2 17:39; Isa 19:20; Isa 31:5; Job 5:19, will deliver, or delivered Exo 18:10; Jos 24:10; Jdg 6:9; Sa1 10:18; Sa1 14:10; Sa2 22:1; Psa 34:5, Psa 34:18; 54:9; Ezr 8:31; Jer 20:13 from the hands of the enemy, or their slavery, or their own fears, or afflictions, or the like. God nowhere else says absolutely as here, "I will not deliver" . "Hear, O Jew," says Jerome, "who holdest out to thyself hopes most vain, and hearest not the Lord strongly asserting, "I will not deliver them out of their hands," that thy captivity among the Romans shall have no end." In the threatened captivity before they were carried to Babylon, the prophet foretold the restoration: here only it is said of Judah, as Hosea had said of lsrael, that there should be no deliverer out of the hand of the king whom they had chosen. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| I will deliver - To rob, imprison, banish, or kill each other. Of his king - The Roman Caesar, whom the Jews had chosen to be so. The land - Their king and his armies shall destroy the land. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| For I will no more pity - I have determined to deliver them into the hands of the Chaldeans. |

5 As birds [06833] flying [05774], so will the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] defend [01598] Jerusalem [03389]; defending [01598] also he will deliver [05337] it; and passing over [06452] he will preserve [04422] it.

7 And I saw [07200] him come [05060] close unto [0681] the ram [0352], and he was moved with choler [04843] against him, and smote [05221] the ram [0352], and brake [07665] his two [08147] horns [07161]: and there was no power [03581] in the ram [0352] to stand [05975] before [06440] him, but he cast him down [07993] to the ground [0776], and stamped [07429] upon him: and there was none that could deliver [05337] the ram [0352] out of his hand [03027].
4 I saw [07200] the ram [0352] pushing [05055] westward [03220], and northward [06828], and southward [05045]; so that no beasts [02416] might stand [05975] before [06440] him, neither was there any that could deliver [05337] out of his hand [03027]; but he did [06213] according to his will [07522], and became great [01431].
13 Yea, before the day [03117] was I am he; and there is none that can deliver [05337] out of my hand [03027]: I will work [06466], and who shall let [07725] it?
11 Saying [0559], God [0430] hath forsaken [05800] him: persecute [07291] and take [08610] him; for there is none to deliver [05337] him.
22 Now consider [0995] this, ye that forget [07911] God [0433], lest I tear you in pieces [02963], and there be none to deliver [05337].
7 Thou knowest [01847] that I am not wicked [07561]; and there is none that can deliver [05337] out of thine hand [03027].
39 See [07200] now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god [0430] with me: I kill [04191], and I make alive [02421]; I wound [04272], and I heal [07495]: neither is there any that can deliver [05337] out of my hand [03027].
7 And the remnant [07611] of Jacob [03290] shall be in the midst [07130] of many [07227] people [05971] as a dew [02919] from the LORD [03068], as the showers [07241] upon the grass [06212], that tarrieth [06960] not for man [0376], nor waiteth [03176] for the sons [01121] of men [0120].
8 And the remnant [07611] of Jacob [03290] shall be among the Gentiles [01471] in the midst [07130] of many [07227] people [05971] as a lion [0738] among the beasts [0929] of the forest [03293], as a young lion [03715] among the flocks [05739] of sheep [06629]: who, if he go through [05674], both treadeth down [07429], and teareth in pieces [02963], and none can deliver [05337].
14 For I will be unto Ephraim [0669] as a lion [07826], and as a young lion [03715] to the house [01004] of Judah [03063]: I, even I, will tear [02963] and go away [03212]; I will take away [05375], and none shall rescue [05337] him.
22 But this is a people [05971] robbed [0962] and spoiled [08154]; they are all of them snared [06351] in holes [02352] [0970], and they are hid [02244] in prison [03608] houses [01004]: they are for a prey [0957], and none delivereth [05337]; for a spoil [04933], and none saith [0559], Restore [07725].
29 Their roaring [07581] shall be like a lion [03833], they shall roar [07580] [07580] like young lions [03715]: yea, they shall roar [05098], and lay hold [0270] of the prey [02964], and shall carry it away safe [06403], and none shall deliver [05337] it.
11 Saying [0559], God [0430] hath forsaken [05800] him: persecute [07291] and take [08610] him; for there is none to deliver [05337] him.
22 Now consider [0995] this, ye that forget [07911] God [0433], lest I tear you in pieces [02963], and there be none to deliver [05337].
3 O LORD [03068] my God [0430], if I have done [06213] this; if there be [03426] iniquity [05766] in my hands [03709];
4 His children [01121] are far [07368] from safety [03468], and they are crushed [01792] in the gate [08179], neither is there any to deliver [05337] them.
6 And thy handmaid [08198] had two [08147] sons [01121], and they two [08147] strove together [05327] in the field [07704], and there was none to part [05337] them, but the one [0259] smote [05221] the other [0259], and slew [04191] him.
28 And there was no deliverer [05337], because it was far [07350] from Zidon [06721], and they had no business [01697] with any man [0120]; and it was in the valley [06010] that lieth by Bethrehob [01050]. And they built [01129] a city [05892], and dwelt [03427] therein.
15 But [1161] they cried out [2905], Away with [142] him, away with [142] him, crucify [4717] him [846]. Pilate [4091] saith [3004] unto them [846], Shall I crucify [4717] your [5216] King [935]? The chief priests [749] answered [611], We have [2192] no [3756] king [935] but [1508] Caesar [2541].
13 The God [2316] of Abraham [11], and [2532] of Isaac [2464], and [2532] of Jacob [2384], the God [2316] of our [2257] fathers [3962], hath glorified [1392] his [846] Son [3816] Jesus [2424]; whom [3739] ye [5210] delivered up [3860], and [2532] denied [720] him [846] in [2596] the presence [4383] of Pilate [4091], when he was determined [2919] to let [630] him [1565] go [630].
14 But [1161] ye [5210] denied [720] the Holy One [40] and [2532] the Just [1342], and [2532] desired [154] a murderer [5406] [435] to be granted [5483] unto you [5213];
52 Woe [3759] unto you [5213], lawyers [3544]! for [3754] ye have taken away [142] the key [2807] of knowledge [1108]: ye entered [1525] not [3756] in [1525] yourselves [846], and [2532] them that were entering in [1525] ye hindered [2967].
