Jeremiah37:17
Ver. 17. Then Zedekiah the King] Being now in diſtreſſe becauſe of the Chaldees come again, and willing to hear from the Prophet ſome word of comfort; which yet might not be, unleſſe he had been better. If comfort be applyed to a graceleſſe perſon, the truth of God is falſified.
Is there any word from the Lord?] Any new Oracle, and different from that of deſtruction, which thou haſt ſo often rung in our ears, ad ravim & nauſeam uſque?
And Jeremy ſaid There is] ſc. A word from the Lord; but the ſame as before: for thou muſt mend, ere the matter will mend with thee.
