thy_o sake_n both_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o jew_n have_v perish_v i_o will_v place_v this_o iniquity_n upon_o thy_o account_n for_o ever_o but_o not_o immediate_o to_o be_v

we_o have_v this_o further_a warrant_n for_o it_o that_o one_o of_o the_o best_a commentator_n as_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o ancient_n tell_v we_o direct_o that_o the_o textum_fw-la the_o

who_o have_v receive_v the_o regal_a authority_n over_o the_o jew_n on_o purpose_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o subjection_n to_o the_o king_n of_o babylon_n to_o be_v the_o first_o that_o oppose_v it_o
