Jeremiah4:17
17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about ; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
They will strictly besiege her, as keepers of a field will be careful who go in, and who go out, Zech. 12.2. they will watch that none go in to relieve them, and also, that none get out to escape; see 2 Chron. 16.1.
God doth not threaten his judgments only, but he labours to convince them, that there is a sufficient reason for it, both here, and in the next verse.
