John Trapp on Jeremiah 30:6

Ver. 6. Ask ye now and ſee, &c.] Was it ever heard of in this world, that a male did bear? The Poets indeed fable, that Minerva was born of Jupiters brain: — Pictoribus atque poetis Quidlibet audendi fas eſt.

Wherefore do I ſee every man] Heb. Every ſtrong or mighty man.

With their hands on their loynes] And not on their weapons.

And all faces turned into paleneſſe] Through extream fear, the blood running to the heart, and the heart faln into the heeles. The Septuagins for paleneſſe have the yellew jaundiſe: the Vulgar gold-yellowneſſe: Piſcator Morbus regius: the Hebrew properly implyeth the colour of blaſted corn, Deut. 28.22. It importeth that the moſt ſtout-hearted warriours ſhould be enervati & exangues, more parturientium, bloodleſſe and ſpiritleſſe, as travelling women.
