Nay, truth faileth, and be that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey, and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him, that there was no judgement. And he saw there was no man, and wondered that there was no Intercessor. Therefore his arm brought salvation unto him, and righteousness, it sustained him. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head, and he put on the garment of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal, as a cloak. Jer. 5.27, 28, 29, 30, 31. As a cage is full of birds, so is their houses full of deceit: He means wealth hoarded up by dishonest gain, therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine, yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper, and the right of the needy, they do not judge.

And he saw there was no man, and wondered that there was no Intercessour. Therefore his arme brought salvation unto him, and righteousnesse, it sustained him. For hee put on righteousnesse as a brestplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head, and he put on the garment of vengeance for cloathing, and was clad with zeale, as a cloake. Ier. 5.27, 28, 29, 30, 31. As a cage is full of birds, so is their houses full of deceit: He meanes wealth hoarded up by dishonest gaine, therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine, yea, they overpasse the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause of the fatherlesse, yet they prosper, and the right of the needy, they doe not judge.
Shall I not visit these things, saith the LORD? Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? as if he had said, I will be most certainly, and severely revenged of it. A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the Land, the Prophets prophecy ⟨p. 75⟩
