Jeremiah18:23
23. forgive not--(Psa 109:9, 10, 14).
blot out--image from an account-book (Re 20:12).
before thee--Hypocrites suppose God is not near, so long as they escape punishment; but when He punishes, they are said to stand before Him, because they can no longer flatter themselves they can escape His eye (compare Psa 90:8).
deal thus--exert Thy power against them [Maurer].
time of thine anger--Though He seems to tarry, His time shall come at last (Ec 8:11, 12; 2Pe 3:9, 10).
