Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 4:28

28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black : because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

Expressions to set forth the dreadfulness of the judgment, he makes the Elements to personate mourners, a sad face of things above, and below a Metaphor, and therein to shame the stupidity of his people.

q. d. You would not believe, either that my Prophet spake, or what they said, now I tell you I speak my self, and what I have resolved upon, I will not revoke, see Ezek. 24.13, 14. and chap. 15.6. for I have purposed it, I have not spoken in my heat or fury, but upon mature deliberation, an Anthropopathy, or what the Prophets have denounced I will ratifie.

Marginal references: Isa. 5.30. and 50.3.
