Vers. 11. At that time they shall say to this people, that is, of this people, and of Jerusalem, the dry wind; others translate, a vehement wind, to the high places of the desert, word for word it is, in the desert, towards the way of the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse: 12 A wind more full than those, shall come unto me; and now also I will pronounce judgements with them.
Vers. 11. At that time they shall say to this people, that is, of this people, and of Ierusalem, the dry winde; others translate, a vehement wind, to the high places of the desert, word for word it is, in the desert, towards the way of the daughter of my people, not to fanne, nor to cleanse: 12 A wind more full than those, shall come vnto me; and now also I will pronounce iudgements with them.
Jeremiah prosecutes his prophecy still, when he saith, a turbulent wind shall quickly come, which shall not only ⟨p. 210⟩fan and cleanse, but shall also scatter and overthrow all. He shows then how great and horrible the calamity shall be, which he mentioned before: he compares it to a dry and sharp wind. The Hebrew word hath divers significations; but doubtless he speaks here of such a wind as comes rushing with great violence, and disturbs all the air; especially when there is neither clouds, nor any trees to hinder the course thereof: and that is the cause why he speaks of the high places, and deserts. It is as much then as if he had said, God will execute such an horrible judgement, and it shall come with such violence, as if a whirlwind passed through high places, or through a dry land, or some desert.
IEremiah prosecutes his prophesie still, when he saith, a turbulent wind shall quickly come, which shall not only ⟨p. 210⟩fanne and cleanse, but shall also scatter and ouerthrow all. He shewes then how great and horrible the calamity shall be, which he mentioned before: he compares it to a dry and sharpe wind. The Hebrew word hath diuers significations; but doubtlesse hee speakes heere of such a wind as comes rushing with great violence, and disturbs all the ayre; especially when there is neither clouds, nor any trees to hinder the course thereof: and that is the cause why he speakes of the high places, and deserts. It is as much then as if he had said, God will execute such an horrible iudgement, and it shall come with such violence, as if a whirlewind passed through high places, or through a dry land, or some desert.
