Jeremiah10:19
Ver. 19. Wo is me for my hurt, my wound is grievous] This is the moane that people make when in diſtreſſe, and they find it ſo. But what after a while of pauſing?
Truly this is my grief, and I muſt bear it] i. e. Bear it off, as well as I may, by head and ſhoulders; or bear up under it and rub through it; wearing it out as well as I can: when things are at worſt they'l mend again. Croſſes, as they had a time to come in, ſo they muſt have a time to go out, &c. This is not patience but pertinaecy; the ſtrength of ſtones, and fleſh of braſſe, Job 6.12. it draweth on more weight of plagues, and puniſhments; God liketh not this indolency, this ſtupidity, this deſpiſing of his corrections, as he calleth it, Heb. 12.5. ſuch ſhall be made to cry when God bindeth them (Job 36.11.) as here.
