jeremiah 46:16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

jeremiah 46:16 "They have repeatedly stumbled; Indeed, they have fallen one against another. Then they said, 'Get up! And let us go back To our own people and our native land Away from the sword of the oppressor.'

16. He--Jehovah.
made many to fall--literally, "multiplied the faller," that is, fallers.
one fell upon another-- (Jer 46:6, 12): even before the enemy strikes them (Le 26:37).
let us go again to our own people--the language of the confederates and mercenaries, exhorting one another to desert the Egyptian standard, and return to their respective homes (Jer 46:9, 21).
from the oppressing sword--from the cruel sword, namely, of the Chaldeans (compare Jer 25:38).

jeremiah 46:16 "They have repeatedly stumbled; Indeed, they have fallen one against another. Then they said, 'Get up! And let us go back To our own people and our native land Away from the sword of the oppressor.'
