The LORD has exhausted His wrath; This phrase indicates the completion of God's judgment upon Jerusalem. The term "exhausted" suggests that God's wrath has reached its full measure, reflecting the severity of the people's sins. In the context of the Babylonian siege and destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC, this wrath was a response to persistent idolatry and covenant unfaithfulness. Theologically, it underscores the holiness and justice of God, who cannot tolerate sin indefinitely. This concept is echoed in other scriptures, such as Isaiah 51:17, where God's wrath is described as a cup that must be drunk to the dregs. He has poured out His fierce anger; He has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has consumed her foundations. Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Consequences of Sin The destruction of Zion's foundations illustrates the severe consequences of turning away from God. It calls believers to examine their own lives for areas of disobedience. The Importance of Repentance This passage underscores the need for genuine repentance to avert God's judgment. It encourages believers to seek God's mercy and forgiveness. God's Sovereignty in Judgment Recognizing that God is in control even in times of judgment can bring comfort and a call to trust in His ultimate plan and purpose. Hope Amidst Destruction While the verse speaks of destruction, it also points to the hope of restoration that comes through repentance and turning back to God.(11) And hath kindled a fire . . .--The phrase is partly literal (2Chronicles 36:19), partly figurative, for the complete destruction of Jerusalem by the wrath of Jehovah.Verse 11. - Hath accomplished means here, not "hath finished," but "hath poured out in full measure," as in the song of Moses Jehovah declares that he will "spend his arrows upon them" - the Hebrew verb is the same as here (Deuteronomy 32:23). To show the completeness of Zion's ruin it is compared to a fire which hath devoured the (very) foundations thereof. Parallel Commentaries ...
