Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. children-in ability for governing; antithesis to the "ancient" (see Isa 3:12; Ec 10:16).

babes-in warlike might; antithesis to "the mighty" and "man of war."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-9 God was about to deprive Judah of every stay and support. The city and the land were to be made desolate, because their words and works had been rebellious against the Lord; even at his holy temple. If men do not stay themselves upon God, he will soon remove all other supports, and then they must sink. Christ is the Bread of life and the Water of life; if he be our Stay, we shall find that is a good part not to be taken away, Joh 6:27. Here note, 1. That the condition of sinners is exceedingly woful. 2. It is the soul that is damaged by sin. 3. Whatever evil befals sinners, be sure that they bring it on themselves.


Ecclesiastes 10:16 Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes feast in the morning. (NASB ©1995)
