Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) I begin to bring evil . . .?--The thought is the same as that of 1Peter 4:17, "If judgment shall begin at the house of God . . .?" If this were His chastisement of those who were His chosen people, it followed a fortiori that those who were less favoured and had less claims should not escape. For them, as for Judah, the one wise and safe course was to accept their punishment and submit. (Comp. Jeremiah 49:12.)
