‏ Psalms 2:9

9. His enemies shall be subject to His terrible power (Job 4:9; 2Th 2:8), as His people to His grace (Psa 110:2, 3).

rod of iron--denotes severity (Re 2:27).

a potter's vessel--when shivered cannot be mended, which will describe utter destruction.

‏ Jeremiah 19:11

11. as one breaketh a potter's vessel--expressing God's absolute sovereignty (Jr 18:6; Psa 2:9; Is 30:14, Margin; La 4:2; Ro 9:20, 21).

cannot be made whole again--A broken potter's vessel cannot be restored, but a new one may be made of the same material. So God raised a new Jewish seed, not identical with the destroyed rebels, but by substituting another generation in their stead [Grotius].

no place to bury--(Jr 7:32).
