| Jeremiah 48:10 | Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord deceitfully; and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood. | Deceitfully. In the Greek, negligently. The work of God here spoken of, is the punishment of the Moabites. (Challoner) --- Woe to those who spare those whom God orders to be destroyed, as Saul and Achab did, 1 Kings 15:8, 23., and 3 Kings 20:32, 42. The zeal of the Levites, Phinees, etc., is rewarded, Exodus 32:27., and Numbers 20:8. |
