“And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.”
King James Version (KJV)
12:12 The prince - Zedekiah. Shall bear - Disguised, as a servant, in hope to conceal himself, chuses the twilight as the time that would best favour his design. They shall dig - This was fulfilled when they broke down the wall to fly, #Jer 39:4|. Cover his face - Zedekiah did by this aim at concealing himself.
12:13 It - Neither the land nor the city; for his eyes will be put out at Riblah.
12:16 Declare - By relating those sins, for which God was justly angry, and for which he punished them, though they were his own people. Thy - The Chaldeans. See how God brings good out of evil! The dispersion of sinners, who had done God much dishonour and disservice in their own country, proves the dispersion of penitents, who shall do him much honour and service in other countries!
And I will scatter toward euery winde all that are about him to helpe him, and all his bands, and I wil draw out the sword after them.
