maids and little children and women yea all except the marked ones v. 5 6. Se also Chap. 16 46 47 48. Iudah corrupted her self more than Samarca yea more than Sodom v. 49 50 41. And Chap 22 we have a large Catalogue of their sins see v. 2 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. And that as the provoking cause drawing forth the sword wherewith the Lord would cut off both the righteous and the wicked mentioned Chap. 21 ver 3. 14. And bringing-on the desolation and scattering mentioned Chap. 22 15 16 19 20 21 22. Thus the Lord dealt also with Israel because of their manifold iniquities mentioned Hos. 4 1 2 3. there was no truth nor mercy in the land nor knowledge of God but there was swearing lying killing stealing adultery and blood touching blood See also Micah 6 10 11 12 13. 6. When this defection and course of sinning is long continued-in and there is no wearying of this way but rather a growing in this Apostasie then such may fear that at length the Lord will come and will not spare nor pity nor passe by any more for thus was it with this people of Iudah Ier. 16. there are sad judgments denounced against them from the beginning to V. 10. And thereof the reason is given vers 11 12. Because your fathers have forsaken me and have walked after other goods c. And ye have done worse than your fathers for behold ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart that they may not hearken unto me And therefore destruction is threatned of new v. 13. Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not where I will not shew you favour So Ier. 32 30 31. For the Children of Israel the Children of Iudah have only done evil before me from their youth And againe This city hath been to me as a Provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day that I should remove it from before my face So the Prophet Ezekiel draweth up a long Libel of many Instances of their rebellion continued in for many Generations running in a constant line from Father to Son from V. 3. to V. 33. and there we finde the sentence given out As I live saith the Lord God surely with a mighty hand and with a stretched-out arme and with fury poured-out will I rule over you And Israel was charged with this same guilt Hos. 10 ver 9. O Israel thou hast sinned from the dayes of Gibeah See also Esa. 65 7. 7. When People become bold and impudent in their sinful courses then there is ground to fear a sad and inevitable stroke of Justice For thus was it with this People of Iudah Ier. 3 3. Thou hadst a whores fore-head thou refusedst to be ashamed And againe Ier. 6 15. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination Nay they were not at all ashamed neither could they blush And what is added upon this Therefore they shall fall among them that fall at the time that I visite them they shall be cast down saith the Lord. So Chap. 8 v. 12. in these last mentioned places the false Prophets would seem specially to be meaned yet the circumstances will include others When People provoke the Lord to anger continually to his face as it is Esai 65 3. then they become a smoak in Gods nose and a fire that burneth all the day and they must expect a recompence from God as Vers. 5 6. 8. When People stand chargable with the abuse of many favours received at the hands of God which they have perverted and mis-improven to the hardening of themselves in their wicked courses then it is to be feared that God will come at length and be avenged on such a Generation of Perverters This iniquity was also charged upon this People of Iudah by Jeremiah Chap. 2 5 to 9. Their forgetting the old kindnesses of God and abusing His favours defiling His land and making His heritage an abomination is charged home Vers 7. Wherefore saith the Lord Vers 9. I will yet plead with you and with your Childrens Children will I plead So Chap. 11. after the Lord had said to Jeremie Pray not for this People Vers 14. he addeth as a provoking cause hereunto Vers 15 16 17. What hath my beloved to do in mine house she hath wrought lewdness with many and the holy flesh is passed from thee when thou dost evil then thou rejoicest The Lord called thy name a green Olive tree faire and of goodly fruit But there was no sutable walking and therefore it followeth with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it and the branches of it are broken For the Lord of Hosts that planted thee hath pronounced evil against thee c. So Jer. 13. the Lord by a similitude of a girdle showeth how he had caused the whole House of Israel to cleave unto Him and the whole House of Iudah that they might be unto Him for a People and for a Name and for a Praise and for a Glory but they would not hear and therefore he threatned to make them like unto the marred girdle and so mar the pride of Iudah and the great pride of Ierusalem and make them good for nothing See Vers 9 10 11. So Chap. 16 18. he saith And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double because they have defiled my land they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things Thus did they requite the kindness of God in bestowing that land upon them by defileing it with their sins and therefore He threatneth to recompense their iniquity double So doth the Prophet Ezekiel Chap. 16. make a large deduction of the favours and kindneses shown to that people and give us also a large summe of their abusings and pervertings of these favours And therefore is wrath denounced from Vers 36. and forward This was likwise charged upon Ephraim or Israel by Hosea Chap. 7 13 15. they have transgressed against me though I have redeemed them yet they have spoken lies against me though I have bound and strengthened their armes yet they do imagine mischief against me So Hos. 11 vers 1 2 3 4. Esai 1 vers 2. 9. When People become hardened in their sins loving and delighting to wander out of the way and glory in their wickedness as resolving never to amend and are therefore tushing at all threatnings and contemning them then is there great ground to fear an overturning blow that no meanes shall avert It was also laid to the charge of this people Ier. 14 10. that they loved to wander and did not refraine their feet And what followeth upon this Therefore the Lord doth not accept them He will now remember their iniquity and visite their sins And then Vers 11. The Lord said unto him pray not for this People for their good Vers 12. When
