Jeremiah2:30
Ver. 30. In vain have I ſmitten your children] My hammers have but beaten cold Iron: ye are incorrigible, irreformable. See Iſa. 1.5. with the Note.
Your own ſword hath devoured your Prophets] As it did in the dayes of Ahaz, Joaſh, Manaſſeh, of whom Joſephus ſaith, Lib. 10 cap. 4. that he ſlew ſome Prophet of God every day.
Like a deſtroying Lion] Cum ſaevitia ſumma, exutâ omni humanitate: ye have puulled them limmeale, and cauſed them to dye piecemeale.
