Jeremiah8:13
Ver. 13. I will ſurely conſume them, ſaith the Lord] Texitur hic quaſi tragoediae ſcena; here followeth a kind of Tragedy, ſaith an Expoſitour; God is brought in threatening, the Prophet bewailing, the people deſpairing, and yet bethinking themſelves of ſome ſhelter and ſafeguard, if they knew where to find it, &c.
There ſhall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs] But inſtead thereof I will give them waters of gall to drink, ver. 14. Tremellius and Piſcator read it thus, There are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the figtree, yea the leaves are fallen: that is, ſay they, there is no power of godlineſſe found among them, no not ſo much as any profeſſion, neither fruit nor leafe.
And the things that I have given them ſhall paſſe away] I will curſe their bleſſings, Mal. 2.2. and deſtroy them after that I have done them good, Joſh. 24.
