Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 24, 25. - The evils threatened are famine, pestilence, plague, wild beasts, poisonous reptiles, and war. They shall be burnt with hunger, etc.; render: Sucked out by hunger, consumed with pestilential heat, and bitter plague; I will send against them the tooth of beasts and the poison of things that crawl in the dust. When hunger, pestilence, and contagious disease had wasted and exhausted them, then God would send on them wild beasts and poisonous reptiles. Shall be burnt. The Hebrew word occurs only here; it is a verbal adjective, meaning, literally, sucked out, i.e. utterly exhausted; LXX., τηκομένοι λιμῷ. Tooth of beasts and poison of serpents; poetical for ravenous and poisonous animals ¢cf. Leviticus 26:22). Shall destroy; literally, shall make childless, shall bereave, viz. the land which is thought of as a mother whose children were destroyed. The verb is here sensu prsegnanti, shall bereave by destroying, etc. (cf. 1 Samuel 15:23; Lamentations 1:20; Jeremiah 18:21).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24, 25)"Consumed[8] with hunger, and devoured with pestilence, and bitter destruction--[8] Or, possibly, "Regaled with hunger, and fed with bread of pestilence and bitter destruction," &c.I will also send the tooth of the beasts upon them, with the poison of crawling things of the dust.Outside the sword bereaveth, and in the chambers terror:Both young man and maiden, the suckling with the man of grey hairs."God's four sore judgments are all depicted here--"the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence." With Deuteronomy 32:25 comp. Jeremiah 14:18, "If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not."
