Key Reflection

This verse paints a picture of divine judgment sweeping across the land, leaving no place untouched by conflict and strife. It underscores God’s fierce anger and his willingness to punish through warfare, highlighting a time of widespread unrest and lack of peace for all peoples.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Shall reap ... shall not profit -Rather, have reaped ... have profited nothing. The force of the proverb is that all their labors had ended only in disappointment. And they shall be ashamed of your revenues -Or, yea, be ashamed of your produce - the produce of the fields.
