All flesh - All the people shall see that this war is a judgment of the Lord.
It shall not be quenched - Till the whole land shall be utterly ruined.

And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it,.... Not only the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judea should see the hand of the Lord in their destruction; but even all the neighbouring nations, the case was so clear and plain, the matter so visible:
it shall not be quenched; no stop put to it by all the art and power of man; so that it was a clear point that it was the Lord's doing.
