Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 12:14

14 ¶ Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit , Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from amongst them ?

God will not be angry for ever with his own People nor suffer the rod of the wicked for ever to rest upon the back of the righteous, for [illegible: 1 letter]aith he for those that are my evil neighbours, the Nations bordering upon I[illegible: 1 letter]dea, which God calls his inheritance, upon which account he calleth them his neighbours, who touched his inheritance, not so much by contiguity of habitation, but by rapacious fingers, to do them hurt, insulting over them when the hand of God was upon them, and contriouting to their affliction and misery, by helping their Enemies against them, as did the Edomites, Philistines, Moabites, &c.

I will also pluck them out of their Land, I will bring the sword upon them also, and they shall be led into captivity, and though they may have made some inroads upon my people and have carried away some of them into Captivity, yet I will fetch them out of their Captivity.
