Jeremiah 29:22
A curse - There is a play here of words. which probably was the cause why the death of these men passed into a proverb. One of them was named ben-Kolaiah; and they are to be made a curse ( qe lâlâh ), because Nebuchadnezzar had roasted ( qâlâh ) them. Compare the marginal reference note.
