Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 40:3

3 Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said, because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you .

This Pagan Commander could see that which the blind Jews would not understand; they said, wherefore is this great evil come upon us? Nebuzar-adan knew wherefore and gives God the glory of his Masters Victory, as also of his own faithfulness, saying God had but done what he said, brought the evil which he had pronounced against that City, he also acknowledgeth Gods Justice, that this evil was come upon them, because of their sins. Thus, the men of Tyre and Sidon, and of Nineveh (and according to our Saviours words) shall rise up in Judgment, against the Iews that lived in our Saviours time; and Nebuzar-adan another day shall rise up in Judgment against those Jewes that lived in Jeremiahs time, and shall condemn them.
