John Trapp on Jeremiah 15:1

CHAP. XV.

Ver. 1. THen ſaid the Lord unto me] In anſwer to my prayer, he replyed, Thou haſt well prayed; ſed ſtat ſententia I am ſet, I am inexorable.

Though Moſes] That Chancellour of Heaven, as One calleth him; who not only ruled with God, but over-ruled, Exod. 32.11.[illegible: 1 letter]14. Numb. 14.19, 20.

And Samuel] A mighty man likewiſe in prayer, See 1 Sam. 7.9. called therefore Pethuel (as ſome think) Joel 1.1. that is, a God-perſwader. Theſe two were famous in their generations for hearty love to, and prayers for that rebellious people, and did much for them. But (ſo the caſe now ſtood) if theſe favourites were alive, and ſhould intercede their utmoſt for them, it ſhould avail nothing. See Ezek. 14.14.

Yet my mind could not be to this people] This is ſpoken after the manner of men, q. d. I am implacably inraged, I am unchangably reſolved againſt them.

Caſt them out of my ſight] Tell them that I have utterly rejected them, and I will ratify and realize thy ſpeeches: See on chap. 1.10.

And let them go forth] Or, let them be gone: q. d. I am the worſe to look upon them.
