Jeremiah 10:18

For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find [it so].

Ver. 18. BehoId, I will sling out the inhabitants of this land.] I will easily and speedily sling them, and sling them into Babylon; so God will one day hurl into hell all the wicked of the earth. Psa 9:17

And will distress them, that they may find it so.] Just so as they were foretold it would be, but they could never be drawn to believe it.
