Ye looked.They had used all proper means in the cultivation of their lands, and had "sown much;" but when they rationally entertained the most sanguine expectations of a large increase, they were strangely disappointed; and even what they had brought home was unaccountably wasted, as if the Lord had "blown upon it," and driven it away! And the reason was, because they neglected the temple, and left it in ruins, whilst they eagerly employed themselves in building and decorating their own houses; therefore they were visited by drought and famine, and by various diseases on man and beast. 6; 2:16,17; Isa 17:10,11; Mal 3:8-11blow upon it. or, blow it away.2Sa 22:16; 2Ki 19:7; Isa 40:7; Mal 2:2Why.Job 10:2; Ps 77:5-10Because.4; Jos 7:10-15; 2Sa 21:1; Mt 10:37,38; 1Co 11:30-32; Re 2:4; 3:19 Haggai 2:16-17

No history can furnish us with a parallel to the calamities and miseries of the Jews; rapine and murder, famine and pestilence, within; fire and sword, and all the terrors of war, without. Our Saviour himself wept at the foresight of these calamities; and it is almost impossible for persons of any humanity to read the relation of them in Josephus without weeping also. He might justly affirm, "if the misfortunes of all, from the beginning of the world, were compared with those of the Jews, they would appear much inferior in the comparison." 21:23,24; Mt 24:19; Mr 13:17-19Blessed.De 28:53-57; Ho 9:12-16; 13:16 Isa 2:19; Ho 10:8; Re 6:16; 9:6
