Ezekiel21:23

Ver. 23. And it ſhall be to them as a falſe divination] The Jewes ſhall believe nothing, till wrath comes upon them to the utmoſt. They ſhall laugh at Nebuchadnezzar's fopperies, and think thee, O Ezekiel, to be little wiſer then him:Jun. ludificabuntur te, adeoque teipſum, divinationis nefariae, quam de Nebuchadnetzare praedicas, incuſabunt: but they ſhall rue this their madneſſe.

To them that have ſworn oaths] But cared not at all to keep them. Lingua juravi, Medea. Juſjurandum tanquam mantile adhibent quo nov[illegible: 1 letter]e noxae quotidiè extergeantur. Pacuvius. mens injurata eſt.

But he will call to remembrance the iniquity] The perfidy and perjury which they make nothing of. They that harden themſelves in any one ſin, put God in mind, as it were, of the reſt, which he had ſeemed to have forgotten.
