SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:14
Porque así dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos: Como pensé haceros mal cuando vuestros padres me provocaron a ira, dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, y no me arrepentí;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. For thus saith the Lord of hosts , etc.] In order to assure them of the truth of what he promised, he observes the fulfilment of what he had threatened, he being as true and faithful in the one as in the other: As I thought to punish you : determined to do it, by suffering them to be carried captive: when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts ; by their immorality, idolatry, and contempt of his prophets: and I repented not ; the Targum adds, “of my word”; of the resolution he had taken up in his heart, and of the declaration of it by his prophets, that he would punish them; this he did not repent of, revoke, change, and alter, but steadily abode by it, and executed it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-17 - Those only who lay their hands to the plough of duty, shall have the strengthened with the promises of mercy: those who avoid their fathers faults have the curse turned into a blessing. Those who believed the promises, were to show their faith by their works, and to wait the fulfilment. When God is displeased, he can cause trade to decay, an set every man against his neighbour; but when he returns in mercy, all is happy and prosperous. Surely believers in Christ must not trifl with the exhortation to put away lying, and to speak every man peac with his neighbour, to hate what the Lord hates, and to love tha wherein he delights.
