Jeremiah 15:12

12 But how can iron be joined with the iron from the north or with brass? ^{▼▼15:12 Shall iron be allied, etc: Shall the iron, that is, the strength of Juda, stand against the stronger iron of the north, that is, of Babylon: or enter into an alliance upon equal footing with it? No certainly: but it must be broken by it.(Challoner)}
