Ieremia 32:24

Romanian Cornilescu Translation

Iată, şanţurile de apărare se înalţă împotriva cetăţii şi o ameninţă; cetatea va fi dată în mînile Haldeilor cari luptă împotriva ei, biruită de sabie, de foamete şi de ciumă. Ce ai spus Tu s'a întîmplat: Tu însuţi vezi!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, the mounts, they are come unto the city, to take it,.... These were ramparts or batteries, that were erected against the city, the more easily to annoy it: some take them to be engines from which they cast out stones; and others suppose them to be battering rams, used to break down the walls of the city; be they what they will, they were now brought near the city to make way for the Chaldeans to enter into it, and take it:

and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans that fight against it; not only it the purpose of God that if should be, but it was plain case that he had withdrawn his protection from it, and that the city was indefensible; and that, humanly speaking, it was impossible it should hold out long, for the reasons following:

because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: the sword of the Chaldeans, without, destroyed those that sallied out upon them, or endeavoured to make their escape; and the famine and pestilence, within, made such ravages, and so much weakened them, that they would never be able to stand it out against the enemy long, but must surrender:

and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; what was foretold by the prophets, and by himself, was now fulfilling:

and, behold, thou seest [it]; and therefore he had no need to observe it to him, or dwell any longer on this subject; only he hints what follows, as having some difficulty in it on his own account.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The mounts - See Jeremiah 6:6 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 32:24. Behold the mounts — The huge terraces raised up to plant their engines on, that they might throw darts, stones, c., into the city.

Because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence — The city was now reduced to extreme necessity and from the siege continuing nearly a year longer, we may conclude that the besieged made a noble defense.
