Jer 8:1-3 | MHCC | STEP | The remains of the dead exposed. ( ) The stupidity of the people, compared with the instinct of the brute creation. ( ) The alarm of the invasion, and lamentation. ( ) Verses 1-3 Though no real hurt can be done to a dead body, yet disgrace to the remains of wicked persons may alarm those yet alive; and this reminds us that the Divine justice and punishments extend beyond the grave. Whatever befalls us here, let us humble ourselves before God, and seek his mercy.
