Some read this Verse, not as a dehortation, Let not him that is deceived trust, or believe in vanity; but as a negative proposition (for that particle in the Hebrew, which sometimes carrieth a prohibition,1 notes also a bare negation; so here) He that is deceived with vanity will not believe (the same word signifies both to believe and trust) that vanity shall be his recompense: He will not believe a change, much less such a change; This is a clear sense, and it hints us this Observation.
