Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 8:15

15 We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold, trouble.

Viz. Upon the perswasion of our Prophets, we expected that these troubles would never come, but all would be well, but we find our selves meerly deluded by them, we looked so long, till even our eyes failed us, but we see no remedy for us, Lam. 4.17. A metaphor: miseries are often in Scripture compared to diseases, and deliverances to healing, Deut. 32.39. Psal. 103.3. chap. 33.6.
