Vers. 24. And shame, or reproach, hath devoured our fathers labours from our youth; their sheep, their cattle, their sons, and their daughters.
Vers. 24. And shame, or reproach, hath deuoured our fathers labours from our youth; their sheepe, their cattell, their sonnes, and their daughters.
HE here confirms the same thing more at large, to wit, how God showed by evident signs, that the people had much offended; because he consumed their labours: that is to say; whatsoever they had gotten and gathered together by their labour. For he joins sheep, and the rest of their cattle together: and then their sons and their daughters. Now he attributes not this consumption unto God; but it is a much more emphatical manner of speech, when he faith, shame hath consumed our fathers labours from our youth. 1For by this word shame, he understands the wickednesses whereof they ought to have been ashamed. The meaning then is, that the cause of all their evils which they suffered, was not to be attributed to any thing else whatsoever; because it was wholly to be imputed ⟨p. 187⟩to their owns iniquities. Our shame then, that is to say, our insupportable sins, have consumed our fathers labours.
