He--Jehovah. made many to fall--literally, "multiplied the faller," that is, fallers. one fell upon another-- (Jer 46:6, Jer 46:12): even before the enemy strikes them (Lev 26:37). let us go again to our own people--the language of the confederates and mercenaries, exhorting one another to desert the Egyptian standard, and return to their respective homes (Jer 46:9, Jer 46:21). from the oppressing sword--from the cruel sword, namely, of the Chaldeans (compare Jer 25:38).
