Vers. 6. For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken and afflicted in spirit, and as a young wife when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
HE meets with a doubt which might have troubled the minds of the faithful,1 under this grievous servitude: for they seemed to be so rejected of the Lord, as if they were to expect nothing but utter ruin. The Prophet therefore admonisheth them betimes, not to quail, though they were forsaken, because God according to his wonted favour, is inclined to be reconciled with them again: yea, and to recover them out of their graves.
