8. from houses of mourning and feasting, foreshows the utter ruin of the Jews;

16. God will doubly recompense their idolatry.














So I will hurl you out of this land
The phrase "hurl you out" is a vivid depiction of God's judgment. The Hebrew root word here is "טוּל" (tul), which conveys a forceful action, akin to throwing or casting away. This indicates not just a gentle removal but a decisive and powerful expulsion. Historically, this reflects the Babylonian exile, a pivotal event where the Israelites were forcibly removed from their homeland due to their persistent disobedience and idolatry. The land, promised to their forefathers, was a symbol of God's covenant and blessing, and being cast out signifies a severe breach in that relationship.

into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known
This phrase underscores the unfamiliarity and alienation the Israelites would experience. The "land" here is Babylon, a place foreign to the Israelites both culturally and religiously. The mention of "neither you nor your fathers have known" highlights the complete disconnection from their heritage and the traditions of their ancestors. It serves as a stark warning of the consequences of turning away from God, emphasizing the loss of identity and continuity with their past.

and there you will serve other gods day and night
The phrase "serve other gods" is a direct consequence of their idolatry. The Hebrew word for "serve" is "עָבַד" (avad), which can mean to work or to worship. This indicates that in exile, the Israelites would be subjected to the worship practices of their captors, not out of devotion but compulsion. The continuous nature of "day and night" suggests relentless and unending subjugation, a life consumed by the very idolatry they pursued in their own land. This serves as a divine irony and a fulfillment of the warnings given through the prophets.

for I will show you no favor
The phrase "no favor" is a sobering declaration of God's withdrawal of grace. The Hebrew word for "favor" is "חֵן" (chen), which implies grace, kindness, or acceptance. In the context of the covenant, God's favor was synonymous with His protection and blessing. The absence of favor indicates a period of divine judgment where the Israelites would experience the full weight of their rebellion. This is not a permanent state but a disciplinary measure intended to bring about repentance and restoration. It serves as a reminder of the seriousness of sin and the holiness of God, who desires a faithful and obedient relationship with His people.

(13) There shall ye serve other gods day and night.--The words are spoken in the bitterness of irony: "You have chosen to serve the gods of other nations here in your own land; therefore, by a righteous retribution, you shall serve them in another sense, as being in bondage to their worshippers, and neither night nor day shall give you respite."

Where I will not shew you favour.--Better, since, or for, I will not shew you favour.

Verse 13. - A grim irony. In me foreign land ye shall serve your idols to your hearts' content, day and night if ye will, "because, [not, where] I will not have mercy upon you" (by delivering you, and so calling you from your idols).
