35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape.
35 And the shepherds
35 No refuge will remain for the shepherds, nor escape for the lords of the flock.
35 There's no way out for the rulers, no escape for those shepherds.
35 And the shepherds will have no way to flee, Nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
35 You will find no place to hide; there will be no way to escape.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:35
Commentary on Jeremiah 25:30-38
(Read Jeremiah 25:30-38)
The Lord has just ground of controversy with every nation and every person; and he will execute judgment on all the wicked. Who can avoid trembling when God speaks in displeasure? The days are fully come; the time fixed in the Divine counsels, which will make the nations wholly desolate. The tender and delicate shall share the common calamity. Even those who used to live in peace, and did nothing to provoke, shall not escape. Blessed be God, there is a peaceable habitation above, for all the sons of peace. The Lord will preserve his church and all believers in all changes; for nothing can separate them from his love.
