From all his iniquities [Greek or Hebrew]; his iniquities, that is, of the Elect Israel, and every individual amongst them. But the word signifies trouble as well as sin, especially that trouble or punishment that is for sin. So Cain expresseth himself upon the denunciation of his sentence; [Greek or Hebrew] my sin, that is, the punishment thou hast denounced against my sin, is too great or heavy for me to bear, Gen. 4. 13. There is a near affinity between sin and trouble; noxam poena sequitur, punishment is inseparable from iniquity. [Greek or Hebrew] then the word here used signifies either sin with reference unto trouble due to it, or trouble with respect unto sin whence it proceeds. And both may here be well intended. God shall redeem Israel from all his sins and troubles that have ensued thereon. And this is the signification ⟨p. 404⟩of the words, which indeed are plain and obvious.
