the_o prophet_n have_v reason_v thus_o god_n be_v not_o such_o a_o one_o as_o can_v be_v entreat_v for_o he_o be_v always_o as_o ready_a to_o forgive_v as_o he_o be_v patient_a and_o long-suffering_a

what_o the_o prophet_n mean_v to_o say_v for_o god_n have_v exhort_v and_o allure_v they_o gracious_o to_o repentance_n the_o prophet_n now_o in_o general_n set_v forth_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o he_o keep_v not_o his_o anger_n for_o ever_o neither_o do_v he_o always_o nourish_v the_o memory_n of_o it_o when_o these_o word_n be_v put_v simple_o by_o themselves_o they_o

there_o be_v nothing_o more_o repugnant_a to_o this_o than_o god_n nature_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o nothing_o hinder_v the_o jew_n from_o obtain_v favour_n but_o their_o own_o backwardness_n

another_o exposition_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o natural_a and_o agreeable_a namely_o that_o god_n here_o take_v up_o a_o lamentation_n in_o respect_n he_o see_v there_o be_v no_o hope_n to_o

the_o manifestation_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n he_o now_o add_v behold_v this_o people_n be_v become_v desperate_a and_o past_a hope_n of_o recovery_n namely_o because_o they_o boast_v of_o their_o

if_o he_o condemn_v their_o hypocrisy_n because_o they_o always_o make_v fair_a show_n in_o seek_v god_n but_o i_o think_v they_o be_v far_o wide_a from_o the_o prophet_n meaning_n i_o make_v no_o
