Jeremiah15:6

6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward, therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee, I am weary with repenting .

God here by more phrases of the same import with many that we have before met with, declareth his steady resolution to destroy them, for their Apostacy from him, and sets out himself to them as angry Princes or Parents, that had been often provoked against a Subject or a Child, and often resolved to punish the offender, but out of their own clemency, or upon the mediation and intercession of others for them, had altered their minds▪ and resolved to spare them, but at last, met with so many fresh provocations that they are weary of forgiving them any longer, so God declareth himself weary of his patient bearing with them, and resolved to bear no longer.
