Vers. 3. I have declared the former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I showed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
Vers. 3. I haue declared the former things of old, and they went out of my mouth, and I shewed them: I did them suddenly, and they came to passe.
HE accuseth the Jews of ingratitude,1 in regard they distrusted GOD who had showed them infinite testimonies of his goodness to confirm them in a true and sound faith, and thus he bereaves them of all excuse, in telling them that he hath declared former things. Now it seems he speaks not only of their redemption from their captivity, but of other benefits which the Lord had done for his people; as if he should say, I began of old to tell you what should ensue, neither have I promised any thing which is not accomplished: but notwithstanding so many experiences, you believe nothing that I say, no not the most certain and the infallible truth.
