Verſe 13. And he will ſtretch out his hand againſt the North] i. e. againſt Aſſyria (which lay north from Judea) as is preſently added by way of expoſition.Selnec. paedag. Christ. par. 2. pag. 118. the ſcripture ſometimes hath its own interpretation annexed as Ioh. 2.19, 21. and 7.39. Howſoever, the Rabbines have this ſaying amongit them, Nulla eſt objectio inloge quae non habet ſolutionem in latere; i.e. there is not any doubt in the Law, but may be reſolved by the context.

and deſtroy Aſſyria] caſt this rod of his wrath into the fire, after the he had worn it to the ſtump (as that Martyr ſaid) upon other nations.

and will make Niniveh a deſolation] See Nah. 2. with the Notes.
