John Trapp on Jeremiah 8:14

Ver. 14. Why do we ſit ſtill] Here the people ſpeak (ſee on ver. 13.) being grievouſly frighted upon the coming of the Chaldees; and thereupon conſulting what courſe to take: but all would not do, ver. 16.

Let us be ſilent] Sic ſilent pavidimures coram fele.

For the Lord our God hath put us to ſilence] Hath expectorated our courage, and ſtopped our mouths.

And hath given us waters of gall to drink] Succum cicutae, our bane, our deaths-draught: ſo that now we know, by woful experience, what an evil and bitter thing ſin is: for a drop of honey we have now a ſea of gall.
