Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 8:21

21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

The Prophet here shews how deeply he is affected with the peoples misery, he deeply sympathizeth with them, it signifies brokers ▪ I am broken in my spirit, and so it answers to the breach that is made upon the people.

I am as those that are clad in deep Mourning, Psal. 38.6. chap. 14.2.

I am amazed to think that my people should sin themselves beyond help, no remedy for them, as the next verse, that no threatnings or Counsels should prevail with them.
