Jeremiah7:28

28 But thou shalt say unto them, this is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Spoke in a way of contempt, q. d. a nation more than Heathenish, though they profess themselves a peculiar people to me, yet to be numbered among the Gentiles.

i. e. Answer not the ends of Correction, viz. to be instructed, chap. 5.3. and submit their Necks to the Yoke, which laid the foundation of all their Rebellion.

There is no trusting or believing them in any thing they say, or do; no Veracity or Fidelity, but perfidious both to God and Men, being all filled with Hypocrisie, Lies and Deceits.

Marginal references: Or, Instruction.
