Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 21:12

12 O house of David , thus saith the LORD, Execute judgment in the morning , and deliver him that is spoiled, out of the hand of the oppressor , lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it , because of the evil of your doings .

He calls these the house of David, either checking them, who were indeed so in a lineal descent, or minding them what they ought to be in imitation of their Father David.

The onely way they had to keep off those Divine Judgments which now hang'd over their heads, was to execute judgment, that is, j[illegible: 1 letter]stice, without partiality; the prophets advice to them to execute judgment in the morning, either lets them know they must do it quickly, or else it hath respect to the time when the Courts of Justice sate.

One Species of Justice, was the deliverance of the Oppressed from the hands, that is from the power, and malice of the Oppressors, which if it were not done,

God threatneth certain Ruin and destruction to them, which none should be able to hinder, or avoid.

The cause of which was their wicked doings, for that God who doth people good and sheweth them favour not for their sake, but for his own names sake, yet never punisheth them, but for a cause found in them.
