Jeremiah 11:16

called thy name—made thee.

olive— (Psalms 52:8; Romans 11:17). The "olive" is chosen to represent the adoption of Judah by the free grace of God, as its oil is the image of richness (compare Psalms 23:5; Psalms 104:15).

with . . . noise of . . . tumult—or, "at the noise," etc., namely, at the tumult of the invading army (Isaiah 13:4) [MAURER]. Or, rather, "with the sound of a mighty voice," namely, that of God, that is, the thunder; thus there is no confusion of metaphors. The tree stricken with lightning has "fire kindled upon it, and the branches are broken," at one and the same time [HOUBIGANT].
