2 Chronicles 28:6Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

It is essential to recognize that those who transgress against God will swiftly find themselves devoid of all that is good, facing a dire scarcity of divine and spiritual gifts. They will consume each other as if engaged in a relentless gnawing at one another. The peace of Christ is not bestowed upon those who fail to love Him, particularly evident among the adversaries of the truth, in whom a spiritual anointing is absent. Instead, there is a state of mutual devouring, conflict, arguments, and division. Concerning such individuals, God declares, “For since I have taken away my peace from these people, they shall die a fierce death” (Jeremiah 16:4-5).
