Lastly, the Prophet adds, And what will ye do in her last? or, in her end. Some leave out the relative here, and others refer it to the Priests and false prophets. But I assure my self, the Prophet notes out the City of Jerusalem here, when he saith, what will ye do in her end? For Jerusalem being founded (as we know) by God own hand, and having him for her guardian and protector, she grew altogether secure: but it was a false security: for in despising and contemning the Lord, she grew ⟨p. 315⟩proud and headstrong in her iniquities. What will ye do then (saith he) in her last? As if he should say, you much deceive your selves, in thinking this City shall stand ever: for her ruin and destruction is even at the doors. What will ye then do, when the City it self shall go to wrack? must not every one of you perish together with her?
Lastly, the Prophet adds, And what will ye do in her last? or, in her end. Some leaue out the relatiue heere, and others refer it to the Priests and false prophets. But I assure my selfe, the Prophet notes out the City of Ierusalem heere, when he saith, what will ye doe in her end? For Ierusalem being founded (as we know) by God owne hand, and hauing him for her guardian and protector, shee grew altogether secure: but it was a false security: for in despising and contemning the Lord, shee grew ⟨p. 315⟩proud and headstrong in her iniquities. What will yee doe then (saith he) in her last? As if he should say, you much deceiue your selues, in thinking this City shall stand euer: for her ruine and destruction is euen at the doores.
