Jeremiah4:13
Behold, he shall come up as clouds , and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind : his horses are swifter then eagles: wo unto us, for we are spoiled .
Either noting the vast number of them, Isa. 60.8. Heb. 12.1. or the suddenness of them, when not expected, Clouds often rising on a sudden, and overspread the whole face of the Heavens, or rather, the great speed and swiftness, with which Nebuchadnezzar shall march against them, Isa. 19.1. Hyperbolically described by the swiftness of Eagles in this verse, chap. 48.8.
Which, beside the swiftness, notes also the confusion and amazement, that they will cause, Isa. 66.15.
The dreadful apprehensions, that the people have of their woful condition, or possibly the words of the Prophet lamenting their misery.
Marginal references: Isa. 5.28.; Hab. 1.8.
