Therefore But.

the fury of the Lord The wrath which He feels has been infused into me His prophet, that I may make it known to men.

pour it out LXX (so A.V.) have I will pour, etc.The imperative of MT. is best taken not as a prayer by Jeremiah but as God's command to the prophet. It is, however, harsh. The declaration is made without distinction of age, because the approaching punishment includes all alike. Five periods of life are mentioned.

in the street at play. Cp. Zechariah 8:5.
