Vers. 18. And in those days also saith the Lord, I will not make an end with you: others translate, I will not wholly consume you.
Vers. 18. And in those dayes also saith the Lord, I will not make an end with you: others translate, I will not wholly consume you.
The expositors concur not about the sense of this verse: for the most of them think, that some hope is here left for the faithful; yea all, almost lean this way: neither have I seen any that expound it otherwise. They think then, that God here moderates his former threatenings, and gives his servants good hope, lest seeing the the Church so ruinated, they might imagine that no seed thereof should remain.1 The word which the Prophet useth I grant, is oft taken in this sense, as was said yesterday. But taking a narrower view of the whole context, I ⟨p. 291⟩am forced to incline to the contrary opinion: to wit, that God rather aggravates and amplifies the greatness of his vengeance. And this word, Also; hath reference thereunto: as if he should say, Think not I have done with you, 2after the enemy hath preyed upon all your goods, deprived you of your children, and brought you to extreme poverty: think not I say, that you shall so be freed from all calamities. For my vengeance shall further prosecute you. 3
