small number--(see on Jer 44:14; and Jer 42:17; Isa 27:13); compare "all-consumed" (Jer 44:27). A band easily counted, whereas they were expecting to return triumphantly in large numbers.
shall know--most of them experimentally, and to their cost.
whose words . . . mine, or theirs--Hebrew, "that from Me and them." Jehovah's words are His threats of destruction to the Jews; theirs, the assertion that they expected all goods from their gods (Jer 44:17), &c. "Mine"; by which I predict ruin to them. "Theirs"; by which they give themselves free scope in iniquity.
shall stand-- (Psa 33:11). |
11 The counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068] standeth [05975] for ever [05769], the thoughts [04284] of his heart [03820] to all [01755] generations [01755].
17 But we will certainly [06213] do [06213] whatsoever thing [01697] goeth forth [03318] out of our own mouth [06310], to burn incense [06999] unto the queen [04446] of heaven [08064], and to pour out [05258] drink offerings [05262] unto her, as we have done [06213], we, and our fathers [01], our kings [04428], and our princes [08269], in the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and in the streets [02351] of Jerusalem [03389]: for then had we plenty [07646] of victuals [03899], and were well [02896], and saw [07200] no evil [07451].
27 Behold, I will watch [08245] over them for evil [07451], and not for good [02896]: and all the men [0376] of Judah [03063] that are in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall be consumed [08552] by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458], until there be an end [03615] of them.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], that the great [01419] trumpet [07782] shall be blown [08628], and they shall come [0935] which were ready to perish [06] in the land [0776] of Assyria [0804], and the outcasts [05080] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and shall worship [07812] the LORD [03068] in the holy [06944] mount [02022] at Jerusalem [03389].
17 So shall it be with all the men [0582] that set [07760] their faces [06440] to go [0935] into Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there; they shall die [04191] by the sword [02719], by the famine [07458], and by the pestilence [01698]: and none of them shall remain [08300] or escape [06412] from [06440] the evil [07451] that I will bring [0935] upon them.
14 So that none of the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], which are gone [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, shall escape [06412] or remain [08300], that they should return [07725] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], to the which they have [05375] a desire [05315] to return [07725] to dwell [03427] there: for none shall return [07725] but such as shall escape [06405].
