And thus have I spoken of the first part of the legal commination, wherein their sin is expressed. Now 1the second followeth, wherein their punishment is threatened. And this is first typically shadowed under the names which are given to the Prophets children, and then plainly denounced in the reasons rendered of the names imposed.

- 1The punishments threatened against Israel.The punishments threatned against Israel.
The punishment it self is set down in three degrees, every one exceeding other. The first is the overthrow of the State and Kingdom of Israel by their enemies: vers. 4, 5. The second punishment is, that because the former judgement could not bring them to repentance, he would never show mercy in bringing them out of their misery, seeing they would ever continue obstinately in their sins and rebellion: verse 6, 7. The third is, that seeing by no means they would be reclaimed, he would utterly reject and cast them off; so as they should be no longer his Church and people: vers. 8, 9.
