Vers. 2.
The virgin Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: she is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vpon her land, and there is none to raise her vp.
THe making more plaine of that which went in the verse before. For now God doth shew what that burden full of mourning•• the which he threatned before, to wit, the ouerthrowing of the whole kingdome and nation of the Israelites, and that in such for that there is no hope of recouering of their estate againe after∣wards, nor of raysing vp themselues againe. And this ouerthrows the nation is described by two wayes and words, to wit (of sall••••) yet in such sort that it cannot rise againe, the which is most m••••••∣rable, and a signe of vtter destruction. And so much seemeth l••••∣mie to signifie cap. 8. ver. 4. when as at the commandement of the Lord he sayth vnto the rebellious Iewes: Thus sayth the Lord, Se•• they fall and not arise? shall he turne away, and not returne aga•••••• And secondly, their vtter ouerthrow is noted by the word (lea•••••••••• all alone) for when she is fallen, she shall be forsaken of all 〈◊〉〈◊〉 neither shall she get helpe or ayde of any man, to lift vp he••〈◊〉〈◊〉 againe.
Further, he calleth the people by the name of a (virgin) very ••∣fectionatly, to moue them vnto the more pitie and compassion, as more tender and vehement or earnest affections, that at the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 they may haue pitie both of themselues, and also of those their ••••∣der virgins which were among them. Moreouer, albeit that GOD vse the singular number in saying (the virgin Israel) yet his mea∣ning is not that euery particular person of the Israelites shall pe∣rish, and so none at all be saued, but the whole bodie it selfe of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 people and kingdome is signified, the which shall not any more b•••• raysed vp, nor arise againe.
