Jerusalem is reduced to
the last extremity. But this time Jehovah appears for her
deliverance, and the multitude of her enemies disappear
as a dream of the night. Everything is dark and gloomy as
to the people; all is morally overturned, and soon God
will overturn everything by His power, and change the
forest into Carmel (that is, a fruitful field).
Henceforth Jacob shall no more be weak and feeble. The
meek shall be blessed, the deaf shall hear the word. The
terrible one and the blasphemer shall be consumed before
Jehovah. There are two parts then in this history, two
attacks. The first succeeds against Ephraim and against
Jerusalem. The second does not succeed. Jerusalem is
brought very low, but Jehovah appears and she is
delivered. The spirit of scorn and unbelief was marked in
chapter 28; the spirit of blindness in chapter 29.
