Jeremiah 11:23

“And there shall be no remnant of them, etc.] And thus the measure they meted out to the prophet was measured to them; they devised to destroy him root and branch, the tree with its fruit; and now none shall be left of them; such who escaped the sword and the famine should be carried captive, as they were; for though there were none left in Anathoth, there were some preserved alive, and were removed into Babylon; since, at the return from thence, the men of Anathoth were a hundred twenty and eight, (<160727>Nehemiah 7:27): for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation; or, “in the year of their visitation”f235; that is, of the visitation of their sins, as…”
