1From the heavens, Jeremiah descends to the mountains, and saith, they trembled, and that all the hills moved, or were shaken. Others translate, destroyed; but I see no reason of it. For doubtless the Prophet confirms the same thing still, by new phrases of speech. Now as he testified that the mountains trembled; so he also adds, that the hills shook. Yea, and the proper signification of the verb requires, that we so translate it. Now the reason why he mentions the mountains and hills, is plain and evident: for in these places there is a greater stability perceived, than in the plains, in regard the mountain, for the most part, are replenished with quarries, and are founded upon rocks. So as though all the world should fail and tumble on heaps, yet it seems the mountains are so well founded, that there is no appearance at all of any motion. And yet the Prophet saith, that even these trembled, and the little mountains shook.
1From the heauens, Ieremiah descends to the mountaines, and saith, they trembled, and that all the hils mooued, or were shaken. Others translate, destroyed; but I see no reason of it. For doubtlesse the Prophet confirmes the same thing still, by new phrases of speech. Now as he testified that the mountaines trembled; so he also adds, that the hils shooke. Yea, and the proper signification of the verbe requires, that we so translate it. Now the reason why he mentions the mountaines and hils, is plaine and euident: for in these places there is a greater stability perceiued, than in the plaines, in regard the mountaine, for the most part, are replenished with quarries, and are founded vpon rockes. So as though all the world should faile and tumble on heapes, yet it seemes the mountaines are so well founded, that there is no appearance at all of any motion. And yet the Prophet saith, that euen these trembled, and the little mountaines shooke.
