| Jeremiah 22:5 | But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation. | Myself, having none greater, Hebrews 6:13. Oaths evince the insincerity of men, who distrust each other; but when God condescends to use them, it shews men's incredulity. --- House, the temple, or rather the palace, where the king was sitting at the gate, ver. 2. (Calmet) |
