Ver. 64. And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people They were not only to be plucked from their own land, but also to be dispersed into all nations. Nehemiah, ch. Deuteronomy 1:8, confesseth that these words were fulfilled in the Babylonish captivity; but they have more amply been fulfilled since the great dispersion of the Jews by the Romans. Indeed, what people have been scattered so far and wide as they? And where is the nation that is a stranger to them, or to which they are strangers? They swarm in many parts of the East; they are spread through most countries of Europe and Africa; and there are several families of them in the West Indies: they circulate through all parts, and are, as one may say, the brokers of the whole world. Bishop Newton.
