Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Jeremiah 4:12

A full wind from those places, Heb. fuller than they. A wind too strong for them. This is a further description of the former wind; it shall be full, even a fuller wind, that shall do its work thoroughly. Shall come unto me: these are either God's words: q. d. It shall presently come to me, to receive my commission, and be at my beck, and do my will, Psalms 148:8. Or they relate, as it were, what will be the language of the people at that time unto me, for against me. Now also will I give sentence: q.d. The coming of this terrible wind shall in effect speak the execution of my judgment upon them, which is pointed at by this word now, viz. at the time of the coming of this terrible storm from Chaldea. Heb. utter judgment, viz. not by word, but by deed; my judgments shall speak as well as my prophets.
