Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 46:15

15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them .

The Prophet first propoundeth a question, then returneth answer to himself. Egypt was full of valiant men, yet saith the Prophet they shall be swept away, or broken down as fruit, or grass is beaten down with a violent storm of Hail, (so the word is used, Prov. 28.3.) how comes this to pass (saith the Prophet) he answereth himself because it was of God to destroy Egypt, who worketh and none can let him, when he strikes none can stand before him; none can stand up against him.
