Vers. 12. Therefore thus saith the holy one of Israel; Because you have cast off this word, and trust in violence and wickedness, and stay thereupon:
Vers. 12. Therefore thus saith the holy one of Israel; Because you haue cast off this word, and trust in violence and wickednesse, and stay thereupon:
HE adds the chastisement of this impiety; to wit, that they should not escape unpunished, because they refused to hear the Lord speaking unto them: which contempt he expresseth the more fully by the verb to Reject, or, to disgorge. He calls it this word, using therein a word demonstrative, in regard that men willingly forge unto themselves a word agreeable to the manner and course of their own life: but they will give God no audience when he speaks. Afterwards he opposeth Gods mild summoning of them, and an exhortation to a quies rest, against their turbulent enterprises, saying; You trust in violence and stay thereupon. The word Oseq, signifies rapine and extortion, in things appertaining to mens substance: others translate, Riches ill gotten: others, Slander, or, misreporting: but they express not the Prophets meaning sufficiently. For mine own part I refer it not to Riches gotten by wicked practises; but rather to the pride and rebellion, wherewith this people were puffed up.
