- Jeremiah 5:27
Like cages full of birds, so their houses are full of deceit. Therefore they have become powerful and rich.
Commentary on Jeremiah 5:272 voices
As a cage is full of birds,.... Jarchi and Kimchi understand it of a place in which fowls, are brought up and fattened, what we call a "pen"; and, so the Targum renders it, a house or place of fattening. The word is rendered a "basket" in Amo 8:1 and may here design one in which birds taken in snares, or by hawking, were put. The Septuagint version, and those that follow it, render it, "a snare": which agrees with what goes before.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
As a cage is full of birds - There is no doubt that the reference here is to a decoy or trap-cage, as Dr. Blayney has rendered it; in these the fowlers put several tame birds, which when the wild ones see, they come and light on the cage, and fall into the snare.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Revelation 18:2
And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast.
Commentary on Revelation 18:22 voices
And he cried, Babylon is fallen - This fall was mentioned before, chap. xiv, 8; but is now declared at large. And is become an habitation - A free abode.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
We must after all this turn our attention to those scriptures also which forbid our belief in such a resurrection as is held by your Animalists (for I will not call them Spiritualists), that it is either to be assumed as taking place now, as soon as men come to the knowledge of the truth, or else that it is accomplished immediately after their departure from this life...
Tertullian· On the Resurrection of the Flesh, Chapter 22, 220Patristic
