Vers. 8.
Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
* 1.1AN amplification of the former threatnings taken from the most fearefull effects which shall follow of the same. And first of all, Israel himselfe shall be deuoured of the selfe same strangers, as also their haruest, that is to say, all their wealth shall be carried away by them, their cities shall be destroyed, and the people slaine. There∣fore vnder this kind of speaking is noted great miserie, [unspec 1] to the ende the Israelites might feele that same great punishment, earnestlie weigh it, and feare it. Secondly, they shall be cast out among the Gentiles, that is, the strangers themselues, as an vnprofitable and disliked vessell. The which is no doubt to bee vnderstood of their most hard banishment or captiuitie, in the which they were con∣temned of all people and nations. For the Assyrians being conque∣rors had no keepe nor care of preseruing the captiue Israelites, as had the Babylonians of the Iewes by them carried into Babylon, whom they preserued, and had in great price, as you may reade of Daniel and his fellowes Dan. 2. ver. 47. &c. whereas the Israelites reaped at the hands of their enemies such discourtesie, as the Psal. 137. maketh mention of: yea, and whereof the Iewes tasted also at

the besieging and taking of their citie, their enemies being stirred vp vnto this crueltie through the prouocation of the Edomites, al∣beit that afterwards in their captiuitie some of them through God his great mercie sped better. For herein the condition and case of the Israelites and Iewes was not all one, because these had not vt∣terly and altogether cast off the worship of God, as had the Israe∣lites.
