Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 38:22

22 And behold all the women that are left in the king of Judahs house, shall be brought forth to the king of Babylons princes , and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee, thy feet are sunk in the mire , and they are turned away back .

Thou that art afraid of the insultings of men that are thy Subjects, shalt fall under the insultings, and taunts of the Women, either the Court Ladies who were left when Ie[illegible: 1 letter]oiaki[illegible: 1 letter] was carried away, or the Women belonging to thine own court shall be taken and brought forth to the King of Babylons Princes, to be dispoted of at their pleasure, and these Women shall deride thee,

And tell thee for this thou maist thank thy hearkening to thy Priests, and false Prophets called in the Heb. the men of thy peace, because they soothed up the King with the promises of peace.

Now they have left thee in evils out of which thou canst not escape.

And as for them whom thou believedst and trustedst to, and by whose words thou art brought into these snares, they have forsaken thee, every one shifting for himself.
