Or, visit “them” r; look into this matter, try this cause, bring it to an issue, and pass sentence on them; which is as follows:<\/p>\n the young men shall die by the sword<\/strong>; by the sword of the Chaldeans, in the field, going out in battle against them; or rather when their town was taken and plundered, since they were the sons of priests:<\/p>\n their sons and their daughters shall die by famine<\/strong>; that is, their little ones, male and female; so that the famine, it seems, was not only in Jerusalem at the time of its siege, but in other parts also: no mention is made of the parents themselves.<\/p>\n r “visitans super eos”, Montanus, Schmidt; “visito”, Pagninus, Vatablus, Cocceius.<\/p>\n (22) The young men.<\/strong>As the context shows, these are the men of military age who would die fighting, while their children should perish from famine within the walls of the besieged cities.<\/p>\n Jer 11:22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:<\/p>\n Ver. 22.

In answer to the prayer of Jeremiah the Lord promised him protection. Not only was he to be shielded from death but his would-be destroyers were to be destroyed. Their men of military age were to die in battle and the remaining members of their families were to die by famine.<\/p>\n Jer 11:22-23. Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will punish them Hebrew, , I will visit, namely, this their wicked conduct, upon them; I will inquire into it, and reckon with them for it. The young men shall die by the sword Though they be young priests, not men of war, their sacred office shall be no protection to them. Their sons and their daughters shall die by famine Which is a more grievous death than that by the sword, Lam 4:9. Thus two of Gods four sore judgments would overwhelm their town in destruction, which should be so entire that there should be no remnant of them None to be the seed of another generation: they sought Jeremiahs life, and therefore their lives shall be taken: they wished to destroy him, root and branch, that his name might be no more remembered, and therefore there shall be no remnant of them: and herein the Lord is righteous. Thus evil would be brought upon them, even the year of their visitation And that would be evil sufficient, a recompense according to their deserts. Such is the consequence of opposing the truth and cause of God, and his servants in the execution of their office! Such is the deplorable condition of those that have the prayers of good ministers and good people against them. <\/p>\n The Almighty Lord promised to punish those men with disaster. The young men of military age would die violently, and others would die by famine, evidently during the siege of Jerusalem. The Lord would not leave them any descendants, so the memory of them would end. This would be fitting since they purposed to cut off all memory of Jeremiah (cf. Jer 11:19). God evidently meant that among those who persecuted Jeremiah, none would have descendants, since Ezr 2:23 records that 128 men of Anathoth returned from the Exile.<\/p>\n "The judgment may seem harsh, but this is just one of many instances in the Hebrew Bible where children experience the consequences of their fathers’ sins. The principle of corporate solidarity was integral to Israelite thinking. Ancient Israelites realized that the actions of individuals profoundly affect others in their social context and that one’s social context affects the individual adversely or positively."
