John Trapp on Jeremiah 48:27

Ver. 27. For was not Iſrael a deriſion unto thee?] ſc. When he was carried captive by Salmaneſer: didſt not thou make thy ſelf merry in his miſery, and compoſe Comedies out of his Tragedies?

Was he found among theeves] Was he therefore obnoxious becauſe religious? What reaſon hadſt thou to ſhout after him, as one would do after a thief that is taken ſtealing?

Impotentiſſimè cachinnaris. Thou skippeſt for joy] Thou ſhakeſt thy ſelf, that is thy head: or thou laugheſt till thou art ready to break thy midriff; — Petulanti ſplene cachinnas.
