Vers. 5. They shall be ashamed of the people that cannot profit them, nor helpe nor doe them good; but shall be a shame and also a reproch.
HE confirms the former sentence: for it was a wonderful hard matter to persuade the obstinate sort amongst the Jews, that all things which they took in hand without the express warrant of Gods word, should turn to their overthrow.1 Now to the end they might be the more severely punished, God suffered them sometimes to prosper in their wicked courses; that so, being more and more seduced, they might in the end breaks their own necks: for it came to pass by his just judgement, that Satan drew them on by little and little with his sweet baits, till he had caught them fast in his nets. But in the end it was evident that they were not only deprived of that succour which they expected, but were also sharply corrected for their presumption and infidelity.
