Verſe 3: And ye ſhall go out at the breaches, every cow,] Quâ data porta ruitis, ye ſhall be glad to get out at any breach to ſave your lives, which now hang in ſuſpence, Deut. 28.66. yea to ride one upon the back of another for haſt, as kine do in a narrow ſtrait. Or, ye ſhall be led into captivity, after the taking and diſman[illegible: 1 letter]'ling of your cities. See Ezek. 12.5, 12.

And ye ſhall caſt them into the palace.] Or, ye ſhall caſt away the things of the palace. Ye ſhall caſt them, that is, your children and nephews, (verſ. 2.) into the palace: either that ye may not ſee their deſtruction, as Gen. 21.16. or that they might with greater celerity, provide for their own ſafety. That was a ſingular example of the Vindelici (now called Suevians) ſubdued by Druſus the Roman Generall under Auguſtus, but not without great reſiſtance:Heyl. Geog. 289. the women throwing their young children at the Romans inſtead of darts. Theſe were monſtrous mothers, mad-cows indeed.
