Vers. 13.

For now will I breake his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bands in sunder.

A Comfort.* 1.1 For God promiseth that it shall come to passe, that he will for all this deliuer out of the hands of the Assyrians, the selfe same Israelites, whom he hath so grieuously afflicted. And that in a word,* 1.2 that there may appeare a manifest difference betweene the afflictions of the godly men, and those that be vngodly, and the iudgements of God against them both. For the godly, how hard∣lie soeuer they be striken, and pressed downe by God, yet neuerthe∣lesse they are deliuered in the ende, and are healed by him: but the vngodly are vtterly cut off, and plucked vp by the rootes. The first part of this difference is here described: the latter in the verse fol∣lowing. Therefore, sayth the Lord, I will breake the yoke of the As∣syrians, wherewith they oppressed and kept vnder the Israelites, as if they had been beasts, handling them most cruellie and sharplie. Such a bondage and yoke shall not alwaies lye vpon thy necke, O Israel. So is it in the Psal. 125. ver. 3.4. The rod of the wicked shall not rest on the lot of the righteous, left the righteous put forth their hand vnto wickednes. And Zach. 10. ver. 10. God promiseth his poore cap∣tiue people after this maner: I will bring them againe also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Asshur: and I will bring them into the land of Gilead, and Lebanon, and place shall not bee found for them.

* 1.3 I will breake thy bands in sunder, that thou mayst rid, and deliuer thy selfe from the gouernment of these wild beasts. That which came to passe, when as the Monarchie, or Empire of the Assyrians was ouerthrowne by the Chaldees. For the Israelites carried away by the Assyrians, were more courteously handled by the Chaldees: and their case and condition vnder them was more tollerable. Nay moreouer, they afterward obtained libertie of Cyrus King of the Persians to returne home also into their owne countrie, if they would. For so we reade Esdr. 1. ver. 3. Who is he among you of all his people (sayth King Cyrus) with whom his God is? let him go vp to Ie∣rusalem, which is in Iudah, and build the house of the Lord God of Is∣rael: he is the God, which is in Ierusalem. And this selfe same is men∣tioned 2. Chron. 36. ver. 22.23.
