Jeremiah 21:14

Nevertheless, the Lord promised to punish the residents for their evil deeds (cf. Jeremiah 21:5). He would kindle a fire in its forest, perhaps a reference to the House of the Forest of Lebanon, one of the palace complex buildings (1 Kings 7:2). The fire would spread to other buildings in Jerusalem.

"Not only will the Divine Warrior fight against them, but also their Dwelling Place will destroy their dwelling places!" [Note: Drinkard, p. 294.]

"All her surroundings, how much more than the city itself!" [Note: Keil, 1:332.]

The subject of the next oracle is, again, a Davidic king of Judah, but which one is unknown.
