Now Judah saw his sickness, and Ephraim saw his wound: that is, God at length made them to see what a crazy condition their State was in, their Civil-State and Church-State too; in what a very crazy condition it was, and how wounded it was, and how like to perish, ready to die. And especially of this first, this sickness of Judah: we have a notable story (for it is referred to these times) in Isa. 7.1. and so on; There you may find the sickness of Judah, and how Judah saw it: When Rezin King of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah came against Judah, the heart of the King, and the heart of his people were moved, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind; as we use to say, they did shake like an Aspen leaf, they were so troubled. Here Judah say his sickness, the dangerous condition wherein he was. And how Ephraim saw his wound, that we shall see further presently when we shall see what help they sought to get against it.

Wrath was out against Ephraim and Judah some time, and had almost consumed them before they would take notice of Obser. 1 it. Hence observe, That by occasion of the pride and stoutness of mans heart, he will not easily be brought to see and acknowledge the hand of God.
