Verſe 3. There is a voice of the howling of the ſhepheards] Potentes potenter torquebuntur. The loftineſſe of man ſhall be bowed down: and the haughtineſſe of men ſhall be made low: and the Lord alone ſhall be exalted in that day. Eſay 2.17. The ſhepheards were grown fooliſh ver. 15. Idol-ſhepheards 17. they cared for no other inſtruments but forcipes & mulctram the ſheares and the milk-paile: they were become greedy dogs, Eſay 56.11. which could never have enough (they were ſick of the bulimy or appetitus caninus) yea they were as ſo many yong lions ramping and ravening, as it is here, and Ezek. 19.2, 3.Pſal. 78.72. Both Princes and Prieſts were turned tyrants: and inſtead of feeding the people in the integrity of their hearts, and guiding them with the skilfulneſſe of their hands, prey'd upon them and pluckt the skin from off them, and their fleſh from off their bones Mio. 3.2.

Ier. 49.19. as Diodate.
