Vers. 3. The earth shall bee cleane emptied and vtterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
HE confirms that which he said before: and withal admonisheth them, that these changes shall not fall out by haphazard, as they say; but that it shall come to pass by the providence and work of the Lord. He said expressly in the first verse, that the Lord was determined to empty the earth: now he tells them, that it shall so come to pass, adding a reason of it; to wit, because God had spoken the word: and therefore it could not be called back again.
