John Trapp on Jeremiah 3:24

Ver. 24. For ſhame hath devoured the labour of our Fathers] That ſhameful thing Baal hath done it, Chap. 11.13. Hoſ. 9.10. he hath even eaten up our cattle and our Children: of whom if any be left, yet there is nothing left for them: And this we now ſee (long and laſt) poenitentia ducti, & noſtro malo edocti, having bought our wit, and paid dear for our learning. And may not many ill husbands amongſt us ſay as much of their drunkenneſs and wantonneſs? See Prov. 5.9, 10, 11, 12. with the Notes.
