his dwelling place R.V. his habitation, marg. pasture: a different word however from pasturein Psalms 79:13.

Psalms 79:6 recur in Jeremiah 10:25. At first sight it would appear that the prophecy must be earlier than the Fall of Jerusalem, and that the Psalmist must be quoting from the prophet. But ch. 10 in its present form can hardly be from the pen of Jeremiah himself: Jeremiah 10:1 at any rate can hardly be his: and Jeremiah 10:23 appear to be a composite passage. The insertion of -yea, they have devoured him and consumed him" after -Jacob," looks like the transformation of poetry into prose, and it is possible that the Psalm is the original.
