Gill's Notes on the Bible
I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts,.... The roll was come forth, and was flying abroad; but the curse and wrath of God, signified by it, is what God would bring forth out of his treasures, according to his purposes and declarations, and execute upon sinners; which shows the certainty of it, and that there is no escaping it:
and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof, and the stones thereof; when wrath is gone forth from the Lord, there is no stopping it; and where it takes place it will remain, there is no getting rid of it; it makes an utter desolation of goods and estates, and entirely destroys both body and soul in hell: there seems to be an allusion to the plague of the leprosy, Leviticus 14:45. So the son of Sirach says,
"a man that swears much shall be full of iniquity, and the plague shall not depart from his house:''
and again,
"if a man swears in vain, he shall not be innocent or justified, for his house shall be full of calamities y.''
So the oracle in Herodotus z, which Grotius has observed, makes an utter destruction of a man's house and family, to be the punishment of the sin of perjury. Moreover, by the house of the thief and swearer may be meant the temple, as in the times of Christ, which was become a den of thieves and perjurers, and for their sins, became desolate,
Matthew 21:13.
y Ecclesiasticus xxiii. 11. z Erato, sive l. 6. c. 86.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will bring it forth - Out of the treasure-house, as it were; as he says, âHe bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuresâ Jeremiah 10:13; Jeremiah 51:16; and, âIs not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up among My treasures?â To Me belongeth âvengeance and recompenseâ Deuteronomy 32:34-35. And it shall remain, literally, âlodge for the night,â until it has accomplished that for which it was sent, its utter destruction. Lap.: âSo we have seen and see at this day powerful families, which attained to splendor by rapine or ill-gotten goods, destroyed by the just judgment of God, that those who see it are amazed, how such wealth perceptibly yet insensibly disappeared.â Chrys. on the statues 15. n. 13. p. 259. Oxford Translation: âWhy doth it overthrow the stones and the wood of the swearerâs house? In order that the ruin may be a correction to all. For since the earth must hide the swearer, when dead, his house, overturned and become a heap, will by the very sight be an admonition to all who pass by and see it, not to venture on the like, lest they suffer the like, and it will be a lasting witness against the sin of the departed.â
Paganism was impressed with the doom of him who consulted the oracle, whether he should foreswear himself for gain. âSwear,â was the answer, âsince death awaits too the man, who keeps the oath; yet Oath hath a son, nameless, handless, footless; but swift he pursueth, until he grasp together and destroy the whole race and house.â âIn the third generation, there was nought descended from him,â who had consulted about this perjury, ânor hearthstone reputed to be his. It had been uprooted and effaced.â A pagan orator relates, as well known, that âthe perjurer escapes not the vengeance of the gods, and if not himself, yet the sons and whole race of the foresworn fall into great misfortunes.â God left not Himself without witness.
Lap.: âThe prophet speaks of the curse inflicted on the thieves and false swearers of his own day; but a fortiori he includes that which came upon them for slaying Christ. For this was the greatest of all, which utterly overthrew and consumed Jerusalem, the temple and polity, so that that ancient and glorious Jerusalem exists no longer, as Christ threatened. âThey shall lay thee even with the ground, and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon anotherâ Luke 19:44. This resteth upon them theseâ 1800 âyears.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
