(Isaiah 40:2). Thou hast been punished enough: the end of thy punishment is at hand.
no more carry thee . . . into captivity—that is, by the Chaldeans. The Romans carried them away subsequently. The full accomplishment of this prophecy must therefore refer to the Jews' final restoration.
discover—By the severity of His punishments on thee, God shall let men see how great was thy sin (Jeremiah 49:10). God "covers" sin when He forgives it (Psalms 32:1, Psalms 32:5). He "discovers," or "reveals," it, when He punishes it (Job 20:27). Jeremiah 49:10 shows that Margin is wrong, "carry captive" (this rendering is as in Nahum 2:7; compare "discovered," Margin).
