1THE Prophet having taught the people to put no confidence in the Egyptians, but in Gods mercy only; & having threatened them with the calamities which should happen to those nations that succoured them, whereupon they rested and relied: he now adds a consolation for the encouragement of the faithful. For he tells them that the Chaldeans, under whose power they were to be held captive, shall be rewarded according to their deserts: whence the Jews were to gather, that God had a care as touching the wrongs which they sustained.
