Isaiah7:13
Ver. 13. Hear ye now ye Houſe of David] But ſhamefully degenerate from your thrice-worthy Progenitours; and ſtrangely forgetful of Gods Promiſes for a perpetual Succeſſion: which if ye remembred and believed, ye would not be ſo cauſleſly terrified.
Is it a ſmall thing for you] How heartily angry is the Prophet, how bleſſedly blown up in this caſe of ſo great diſhonour done to God? we ſhould be ſo too.
To weary men] to vex and moleſt: the Septuagint have it, to ſtrive, Agoneus redditis. or wreſtle a fall with men; By men he meaneth himſelf and his fellow-Prophets, whom Ahaz and his Courtiers ſlighted and miſuſed. Let this comfort Gods faithful Miniſters under the worlds indignities and injuries. See Matth. 5.11, 12.
But will ye weary my God] whom I ſerve in my spirit; and now no more thy God, as ver. 11. ſith thou haſt refuſed to be Ruled by him,Non autem tuum, ô rex Ahaſe. Piſcat. and that after manifeſt conviction, and greateſt importunity to bring thee to a better temper.
