Chapter 8 renews the
declaration, that the end of Israel was come on account
of their iniquity. God would no longer pass it over. The
prophet announces likewise the distress the people should
come into from being deprived of all guidance from
Jehovah. They who trusted in the vanities that Israel had
set up for themselves should fall, and never rise again.

The prophet announces likewise the distress the people should come into from being deprived of all guidance from Jehovah. They who trusted in the vanities that Israel had set up for themselves should fall, and never rise again.
