Jer 5:15-17 | Clarke | STEP | Verse 15 I will bring a nation - The Scythians, says Dahler; the Babylonians, whose antiquity was great, that empire being founded by Nimrod. Whose language thou knowest not - The Chaldee, which, though a dialect of the Hebrew, is so very different in its words and construction that in hearing it spoken they could not possibly collect the meaning of what was said.

Their quiver is an open sepulcher - They are such exact archers as never to miss their mark; every arrow is sure to slay one man.
