Jeremiah 23:19

     19. So far from all prosperity awaiting the people as the false prophets say (Jer 23:17), wrath is in store for them.

      grievous—literally, "eddying," whirling itself about, a tornado. In Jer 30:23, "continuing" is substituted for "grievous."

      fall grievously—it shall be hurled on.

Jeremiah 25:32

     32. from the coasts—rather, "from the uttermost regions." Like a storm which arises in one region and then diffuses itself far and wide, so God's judgments shall pass "from nation to nation," till all has been fulfilled; no distance shall prevent the fulfilment.

      not be lamented— (Jer 16:4, 6).

      neither gathered—to their fathers, in their ancestral tombs (Jer 8:2).

      dung— (Ps 83:10).
