Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

10. (De 29:24; 1Ki 9:8, 9).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:10-13 Here seems to be the language of those who quarrel at the word of God, and instead of humbling and condemning themselves, justify themselves, as though God did them wrong. A plain and full answer is given. They were more obstinate in sin than their fathers, walking every one after the devices of his heart. Since they will not hearken, they shall be hurried away into a far country, a land they know not. If they had God's favour, that would make even the land of their captivity pleasant.


Deuteronomy 29:24 "All the nations will say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?'
1 Kings 9:8 "And this house will become a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'
Jeremiah 5:19 "It shall come about when they say, 'Why has the LORD our God done all these things to us?' then you shall say to them, 'As you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
Jeremiah 13:22 "If you say in your heart, 'Why have these things happened to me?' Because of the magnitude of your iniquity Your skirts have been removed And your heels have been exposed.
Jeremiah 22:8 "Many nations will pass by this city; and they will say to one another, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?' (NASB ©1995)
