Jeremiah43:12

Ver. 12. And I will kind's a fire in the houſe of the gods of Egypt] Goodly gods they were that could not keep their Temples from burning. Diana, ſaid one jeſtingly, was ſo buſie at the birth of great Alexander, that ſhe could not a while to be at Epheſus, where her ſtately Temple was at the ſame time ſet on fire by Heroſtratus.

And he ſhall array himſelf with the land of Egypt as a Shepherd putteth on his garment] i. e. Eaſily and ſpeedily ſhall he carry away the ſpoile of that rich country, there being none there to hinder him either in taking them, or carrying them away:

Pastor enim ſecum portat tectumque, laremque.
