Jeremiah 22:8
Ver. 8. And many nations shall pass by this city,.... After it is burned down and destroyed; that is, people out of many nations travelling that way:
and they shall say every man to his neighbour; as in company together, passing along the ruined walls of the city:
wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this great city? so fortified and so full of people; the metropolis of the whole nation; the greatest city in the east; yea, the joy of the whole earth; a city peculiarly dear to the Lord; greatly honoured by him with his presence, worship, and ordinances, and yet now in ruins; how comes this to pass? they see and acknowledge the hand of the Lord in it, having a better notion of things than the Jews themselves had.
