Jeremiah 48:32

Study

       

32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the destroyer is fallen.

Commentarius

 

Bald

  
This print, from a medieval French manuscript, shows a relatively bald Elisha cursing the youths as the bears attack. Elijah rides a chariot overhead, having been taken up to heaven shortly before.

'A bald head' signifies the Word deprived of the natural sense, which is the sense of the letter.

(Notae: 2 Kings 2:23-24; Apocalypse Explained 781)
