Lamentations2:13
Ver. 13. What thing ſhall I take to witneſſe for thee?] q. d. Thou art ſuch a mirrour of Gods heavy judgements, that I know not whence to borrow arguments, nor where to find examples for thy comfort, ſo matchleſſe is thy miſery. It exceedeth that of the Egyptians under Moſes, of the Canaanites under Joſhua, of the Philiſtines under David, of the Hebrews under Eli, &c. It is even imparallel, and inexpreſſible: I have but one Simile to ſet it forth by: and it is this,
Thy breach is great, like the ſea] As far as the ſea exceedeth the rivers, ſo doth thy calamity exceed that of other nations.
Who can heal thee?] None but an Almighty Phyſician: ſurely in mans judgement, thy bruiſe is incureable, and thy wound is grievous, Jer. 30.12.
