Jeremiah 12:12

Through - in. Even these remote scaurs do not escape, polluted as they had been by the nation' s idolatries.

Shall devour - Or, devoureth. These hosts of war come as Yahweh' s sword.

No flesh shall have peace - " Flesh" in Genesis 6:3 means mankind as sinners; here, Judah. "Peace" in Hebrew has the wider signification of "welfare, happiness." Hence, their salutation in life was, "Peace be to thee," and in death "In Peace" was engraved upon their sepulchres.
