Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 8:1

1 AT that time, saith the LORD they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of their graves.

This Chapter being a continuation of the former, he proceeds in carrying on the threatning with higher aggravations of the Judgment, viz. that when the time shall come spoken of chap. 7.32. the Chaldea[illegible: 1 letter]s rage shall reach, not only to the living, but even against those, that are in their graves, and that sparing none of any degree, or quality; Of the Nobles and Princes as Manasse[illegible: 1 letter], and others; possibly led to it out of greediness, supposing to find great treasure in their Sepulchres; of the Priests, and Prophets, principally the false ones, as a just judgment of God against them for deceiving the People: of the Inhabitants of Ierusalem, out of their spight and fury kindled against them, as Souldiers, or in contempt, and ignominy, and this notes the utter desolation of the City, not only razing the walls but turning up the very Sepulchres which were accounted sacred, and not to be violated.
