Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 7:20

20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

Put for his Revenge by a Metonymy of the cause for the effect.

This expresseth his anger boiled up to the height, chap. 4.4.

A Metaphor taken from violent rains, see chap. 6.11. and may in particular allude to those showers of fire that were poured out upon Sodom, Gen. 19.24.

These particulars are enumerated to expres an utter desolation and ruine, see chap. 4.25. and it is threatned against these creatures, which are innocent, because they were made for the use of man, partly that it might shew, how greatly God is offended, and that it should work upon them not only a greater fear of his judgments, but a greater shame for their sin, that they should occasion such sufferings upon the innocent Creature, Rom. 8.20, 22.

He follows the threatning with the irresistableness of it, his resolution is not to be revoked, chap. 4.4. and this is suitable to the charge he gave the prophet, ver. 16.
