Jeremiah23:9
Ver. 9. My heart within me is broken] Ʋtitur exordiolo pathetico & Tragico prorſus: Being to inveigh againſt the Prieſts and falſe Prophets, thoſe great corrupters of the people, he uſeth this pathetical preface, Cordicitus & medullitus doleo, I am grieved to the very heart, &c.
All my bones ſhake] Heb. hover or flutter, as birds do:Totus contremiſco. they ſhake and ſhudder with extream fear and horrour.
I am like a drunken man] Totus perturbatus ſum, I am not my ſelf: not able to ſtand high-lone.
Becauſe of the Lord] Through zeal of his glory.
And becauſe of the words of his holineſſe] His holy words ſo ſhamefully ſlighted: his dreadful threats eſpecially.
