Jeremiah51:13

Ver. 13. O thou that dwelleſt upon many waters] Euphrates and Tigris eſpecially, famous rivers running from Babylonia into the Perſian ſea. Hence moſt Geographers hold, and not improbably, that that land was a part of the garden of Eden: fruitful it was beyond credulity.

Thine end is come, and the meaſure (Heb. the cubit) of thy covetouſneſſe] Cujus avaritia totus non ſufficit orbis. The covetous Cormorants mouth (with his Give Give) ſhall ſhortly be ſtopped with a ſpade-full of mould: and his never-enough quit with fire enough, in the bottom of hell.
