Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 46:15
Then were the valiant men swept away (v. 15) as with a sweeping rain (it is the word that is used Prov. xxviii. 3); they can none of them stand their ground, because the Lord drives them from their respective posts; he drives them by his terrors; he drives them by enabling the Chaldeans to drive them. It is not possible that those should fix whom the wrath of God chases.
