Micah2:10

10 Arise ye and depart , for this is not your rest : because it is polluted , it shall destroy you, even with a [illegible: 1 letter]ore destruction .

You Inhabitants of Israel, especially you oppressours, bestir your selves, and prepare for your departure out of this Land; for, will ye, nill ye, so 'tis, you shall be carryed away, the words also may fairly be applyed to the oppressed, to lessen the troubles they were under, and to advise them to retire out of this Land.

Though 'twas given this people for a rest under God's wing; yet 'twas on condition of continued Obedience, but since they do not observe the condition, they shall never find the expected rest; one trouble shall succeed another, until the Captivity, sweep them all away, both oppressours and oppressed, these therefore should grieve the less at their present trouble, nor grudge to transplant themselves;

with many, and great, and old sins,

Spue them out as a burthen intolerable to the earth that bears them, as Lev. 18.25. this polluted Land shall be destroyed;

Such as may will require a lamentation, such as ver. 4. a grievous desolation, such as never shall be repaired.
