Vers. 1. Yet now heare O Iakob my seruant, and Israel whom I haue chosen.
1Isaiah having a little before taxed the wickedness of the Jews; and also having pronounced that they were all worthy to perish eternally, in regard that as well small as great, had defiled themselves in all things.

For this verse ought to be knit to the argument afore going,2 because the Lord shows he will never suffer the people utterly to perish, though he be content they should feel much smart for a time.
