e The Prophet continues the Wo till to theſe riotous Feaſters ; the jovial, banqueting, dancing, and finging Judges. f Not in little Veſſels, not in moderate Glaflſes or Cups, as beſeemed tober Men, but in great Veſſels, called Bowls; and it is likely they drans thele filled as full as they could hold too, and in detign to drink each other down. g In thoſe hot Countries this anointing was necdtul to refreſh and ſtrengthen the Limbs, and *cwas much uſed : But here the effeminate Uſe of it, at ſuch a Time, and by ſuch Men, at Feafts, is condemned as a great Exceſs, and provoking Sin which God will puniſh. hþ Nothing afetted with, or tronbled for the 0 ay Calamities of their Country, though they were ſore Ones

rought on them by the Syrians, and by their own Diviſions and Civil Wars; both Kingdoms of Fudab and J/rael were in a very low afflited State : but theſe Rulers and Grandees live, feaſt, fing and dance, as it no ſad Occalion called for other Carriage. :

7 © Therefore # now ſhall they go captive k with the firſt that go captive /, and the banquet m2 of them that

ſtretched themſelves # ſhall be removed 0. :

7 For this Sin of unſeaſonable Feaſting added to all former Sins z much like that, Jſz. 22-14. kt Who ruled others, and whoſe Cha- rater you have, ver. 1, 2, 3, Gc. who put far from them the Evil- day, &c, theſe ſhall certainly be carried Captive. / And as they de- ſerve by their Sins, ſoſhall they be carried away the firſt ot any, God's Hand in puniſhing them ſhall be as eminent as their Hand was in f1n- ning. m The Feaftings of voluptuous Ones ſhall ceaſe. 7 Vid. ver. 4. let. ?. o God will ſend the Aſyriuns to take away the Banquet, and to bring in a Bill, a Reckoning, for theſe ſecure Sinners, who ſhall be re- moved too as well as their Banquet is 3 they ſhall go into Captivity, and there in Sorrows dearly pay for all their Luxury, Inhumanity and SECUritY.

$8 * The Lord GOD hath ſworn by himſelf p, ſaith the LORD, the God of hoſts q, I abhor 7 the excellency of Jacob s, and hate his palaces ? : there- fore will I deliver up the city «, with + all that 1s there- IN X,

þ The Secure, Incredulous and Atheiftical among the Judges of Iſrael, are here ſpoken to eſpecially z and' the Prophet affures them that God had ſworn by himſelf that they ſhould be puniſhed, and in the Manner he had forctold. q God affureth his Prophet, that the Prophet might atteft it: to his Hearers. r I look with Deteſta- tion, and remember with Loathing. s All that the Seed of Facob accounts a Glory and Excellency to them, and in which they do put their Truft, all their external Priviledges and ceremonious Wor- ſhip. t In which Violence is ftored up, in which Luxury a- bounds. u Feruſalem, Samaria, and all the other Cities. x Both Perſons and Things, Aſh77z firſt ſhall ſweep away all out of J/r4e! and Samaria, and Babylonian next ſlall carry away Fudab, Ferujalem, andall in it.

9 Andit ſhall come to paſs y, if there remain z ten men in one houſe a, that theyſhall dieb.

10 And a mans uncle c ſhall take him up 4, and he that burneth him e, to bring out the bones out of the houſe f, and ſhall ſay g unto him that 4 by the ſides of the houſe h, Is there yet any with theez ? and he ſhall ſay k, No : then ſhall he ſay / * Hold thy rongue m ; for || we may not make mention of the name of the
