1Secondly, (Which is the sense our translation holds out) Thou hast left them, or sent them into the hand of their transgression; That is, Thou hast left them in those evils, which their transgressions did deserve and call for. Our reading carries that meaning, He hath cast them away for their transgression: Others thus, He hath thrust them out of the world for their transgression, He hath suffered that to befall them which their transgression called for. According to these, the sense is, Thy children sinned against him, and he hath let those evils ⟨p. 25⟩which their sin deserved fall upon them; He hath rewarded them according to their iniquity (Isa. 64.6, 7.)
