Jeremiah - 8:3 Meaning
“And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
8:1-3 Though no real hurt can be done to a dead body, yet disgrace to the remains of wicked persons may alarm those yet alive; and this reminds us that the Divine justice and punishments extend beyond the grave. Whatever befalls us here, let us humble ourselves before God, and seek his mercy.
“And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.”
