John Trapp on Zechariah 2:7

Verſe 7. Deliver thy ſelf, O Zion that dwelleſt with the daughter of Babylon] q.d. Is Babylon a fit place for thee to abide in? what comfort canſt thou take in ſuch lewd company? Save thy ſelf from this untoward generation Act. 2.40. Flee out of the midſt of Babylon, and deliver every man his ſoul: be not cut off in her in iquity: for this is the time of the Lords vengeance: he will render unto her a recompenſe. Jer 51.6.7. Shortly after this exhortation to the ſons of Zion, Babylon revolted from the Perſians,Iuſtin: lib. 1. Herod. lib. 3. and was taken and ſackt by Darius in the fourth yeer of his reign (that is two yeers after this Prophecy was uttered) by the help of his friend Zopyrus. Two thing ſhould prevail with the people of God to ſhun the ſociety of the ungodly. 1. Infection of ſin, which is more contagious and catching then the plague. Though Lot learned not the evil manners of Sodom, yet his daughters did.

2. Infliction of puniſhment Zac. 9.2. Hamath lay ſo nigh Damaſcus in places that ſhe fared the worſe for her neighbourhood. See for both theſe, Rev. 18.4. and ſay, if at any time forced to be in bad company, O that I had wings of a dove: Pſal. 55.6. for then would I flee away, and be at reſt. Or, if this Oh will not ſet thee at liberty, take up that Wo, to expreſſe thy miſery, Wo is me that I ſojourn in Meſhech, &c.
