land mourn—personification (Jeremiah 14:2; Jeremiah 23:10).
for the wickedness— (Psalms 107:34).
beasts— (Hosea 4:3).
He shall not see our last end—Jehovah knows not what is about to happen to us (Jeremiah 5:12) [ROSENMULLER]. So the Septuagint. (Psalms 10:11; Ezekiel 8:12; Ezekiel 9:9). Rather, "The prophet (Jeremiah, to whom the whole context refers) shall not see our last end." We need not trouble ourselves about his boding predictions. We shall not be destroyed as he says (Jeremiah 5:12-13).
