Micah2:9
Verſ. 9. The women of my people] Or, the wives; once wives, but now widdows, and therefore calamatious, friendleſſe, comfortleſſe; as a vine whoſe root is uncovered, as a wandring bird, or a neſt forſaken, Iſai. 16.2.
have ye caſt out from their pleaſant houſes] where they had long lived with their husbands in love, peace, and much ſweetneſſe, as good Naboths wife had: This was barbarous cruelty. God had taken order in the law, that none ſhould harm a bird ſitting upon her own neſt, how much leſſe a daughter of Abraham? Widdows and Orphans are his clients, Pſ. 146.9.
from their children have ye taken away my glory] i. e. My maintenance and that livelihood that I had allowed them for their better education, which might have redounded to my great glory. Whereas now, being by you bereft both of friends and meanes, gomunt, fremunt, vobis maledicunt, clamantque vindictam in coelum, ſaith Montanus, they groan, they moan, they curſe you, they crie to me for vengeance. &c.
