And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked,.... The wicked Jews, Zedekiah and his courtiers, who imprisoned him:and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible; as kings and great men of the earth seem to be; or, "the violent", or "strong" , and mighty; that were stronger than he, that would use him with violence, and inject terror into him.
Myuyre "violentorum", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Schmidt; "fortium", V. L.
