And thus much concerning the sin of the people of Israel. In the next place he setteth down their punishments for whereas he had, vers. 6. in general threatened, that he would hedge her in with afflictions: now he proceedeth to specify the particular kinds thereof: First, that he would deprive her of all those necessary benefits, which appertained to the preservation of their life, vers 9. Secondly, that he would discover her shame in the sight of her lovers, and expose her to reproach and contempt, vers. 10. Thirdly, that he would cause to cease all her solemn festivals, and take away all cause of mirth and rejoicing, vers. 11. Lastly, that he would destroy all her pleasant gardens, and fruitful vineyards, and turn them into a vast wilderness, vers. 12. After which comminations he repeateth again their sins, which were the causes of the punishments, namely, their unthankfulness, in the latter part of the 12. verse, and their idolatry, vers. 13. and so he concludeth the first part of this Chapter.

Secondly, that hee would discouer her shame in the sight of her louers, and expose her to reproch and contempt, vers. 10. Thirdly, that he would cause to cease all her solemne festiuals, and take away all cause of mirth and reioycing, vers. 11. Lastly, that hee would destroy all her pleasant gardens, and fruitfull vineyards, and turne them into a vast wildernesse, vers. 12. After which comminations he repeateth againe their sins, which were the causes of the punishments, namely, their vnthankfulnes, in the latter part of the 12. verse, and their idolatrie, vers. 13. and so hee concludeth the first part of this Chapter.
