Jeremiah 46:22

Study

       

22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

Commentary

 

In vain

  

'To take the Lord's name in vain,' denotes profaning divine truths with blasphemies and applying divine teachings to idolatrous worship, as the Israelites did when they worshiped the calf. 'Vanity' denotes false doctrine or religion.
