Vers. 9.

The meate offering and the drinke offering is cut off from the house of the Lorde: the Priestes the Lordes Ministers mourne.

* 1.1AN amplification of the former misery taken from a most la∣mentable effect. For this scarcenes and penurie or want of thinges shall reach not onely vnto the life of men, but also vnto the worship of God, and vnto his Temple. For by this meanes the offrings and sacrifices commanded by God to be offred, shall cease to be made in the Temple, because that both corne, or flowre, and oyle, and wine, and other such things, whereof offerings and sa∣crifices were wont in the seruice of GOD to be made, shall fayle, of the which reade Leuit. 2. and 7. and euery where in the booke of Numbers, as cap. 6.18.25. Wherefore this sorrow shall come not onely vnto priuate persons, but also vnto the Priest themselues, and the ministers of the Lord. For they shall not bee able to keepe and exercise the outward seruice of God, and to fulfill and discharge that their holy ministerie because of the want of things necessary and belonging thereunto. The which no doubt was a most rare thing to come to passe, in that people especially, and in so great a blessing or fruitfulnes of that land, by howe much the greater and more fearefull this iudgement of God appeareth to haue been, albe∣it the Lord brought it vpon them by these sillie creatures only: It hath therefore a great efficacie or force to set the weight of this anger of God before their eyes, where the Prophet sayth: The meat offring, and the drink offring, that is, the whole outward wor∣ship and seruice of God, and not onely some one part thereof cea∣seth.* 1.2 For so I vnderstand it by the figure Synecdoche, a part being put for the whole. For albeit the sacrifices or beasts remayned, yet could not they be offered without their meat offring, and their drinke offering. Further, whereas he addeth: The Priests the Mi∣nisters of the Lord Iehouah, that is, whome the Lord hath apoynted Stewards vnto his owne selfe, and not vnto men, they also shall feele this iudgement of God in the worship and seruice of God.
