Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 36:16

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words,.... Which was the treatment Jeremiah and Ezekiel frequently met with: and misused his prophets; imprisoned them, as Micaiah and Jeremiah

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 36:16

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy. No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:16

They mocked the messengers of God; of which see instances, 20:49. Misused his prophets; imprisoning and persecuting them, as they did Jeremiah. Or, seduced themselves by his prophets, i.e. by their prophecies, which they perverted or misconstrued. An eminent instance we have in this, that because Jeremiah prophesied that Zedekiah should be led to Babylon, , and Ezekiel, that he should not see Babylon, , therefore they believed neither, as the Hebrew writers relate. Till there was no remedy; because the people would not repent, and God would not pardon them.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:16

2 Chronicles 36:16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy.Ver. 16. But they mocked the messengers of God.] Yea, misused them, murdered them. See 2 Chronicles 30:10 Matthew 21:34-36. Until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people.] Desperate sinners procure implacable wrath, irrevocable decrees, exterminating judgments. Men’ s sins put thunderbolts into God’ s hands, who may well say, Non nisi coactus, Not till needs must: "fury is not in me." As a woman bringeth not forth without pain, a bee stingeth not till provoked, so neither doth God proceed to punish till there be no remedy. Till there was no remedy.] Heb., No healing. They would have no healing, and now they can have none though they would. Cantharides and scorpions are said to carry about them a remedy for their own poison; at ipsi peccato sua inest poena et supplicium; but so doth not sin, for it is sure of punishment, when once it hateth to be healed especially. Nowhere else in Scripture but here, and Proverbs 29:1, is it said "there is no remedy"; and it is fearful. What can we of this nation expect but an utter extermination for our notorious obstinacy? See the sentence, and tremble at it. Josephus reporteth that in his time his countrymen the Jews were grown so desperately wicked, that if the Romans had not destroyed them, without doubt either the earth would have swallowed them up, or fire from heaven have consumed them.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:16

(16) But they mocked.—And they were mocking, mal’ξbξm; only here (an Aramaism). Misused.—Mitta’te’ξm, only here. Derided, strictly, stammered. Another form of this verb occurs in Genesis 27:12. (Comp. for the fact Isaiah 28:9-14; Ezekiel 33, 30; Jeremiah 17:15; Jeremiah 20:7-8.) Till there was no remedy.—Healing; i.e., deliverance, σωτηρία (comp. 2 Chronicles 21:18). God is said to heal, when he averts calamity (2 Chronicles 30:20). The wrath . . . arose.—Went up (‘βlβh), like smoke (Psalms 18:8; 2 Samuel 11:20).

Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 36:16

16. mocked the messengers] Jeremiah was imprisoned, beaten, and threatened with death, Urijah (Jeremiah 26:20-23) was put to death. Of the fate of Habakkuk (who also lived during the Chaldean period, Habakkuk 1:6) nothing is known. misused his prophets] R.V. scoffed at his prophets.

Barnes' Notes on 2 Chronicles 36:16

Misused his prophets - Rather, “scoffed at his prophets.” The allusion is to verbal mockery, not to persecution.
