VER. 3.
They shall not dwell in the Lords Land.
Before God was to them as a father taking maintenance away from them, leaving them to suffer want; but here his anger increases, & here he puts them out of his house;1 as a Father, first he withdraws allowance from his stout Son, and when that will not do, then he thrusts him out of his house: So doth God here, The wine-press & the flour shall not feed them. And not only so, saith God, but, They shall not dwell in the Lords Land. I will cast them out of my house, cast them out of my Land, I will not suffer Ephraim to dwell any longer there.
BEfore God was to them as a father taking maintainance away from them, leaving them to suffer want; but here his anger encreases, & here he puts them out of his house;1 as a Father, first he withdraws allowance from his stout Son, and when that will not do, then he thrusts him out of his house: So doth God here, The wine-press & the flour shall not feed them. And not only so, saith God, but, They shall not dwell in the Lords Land. I will cast them out of my house, cast them out of my Land, I will not suffer Ephraim to dwell any longer there.
