Jer. 50.17. you may see in what indignation God doth take it, for men though the greatest upon earth to be cruel to his people, This Nebuchad rezza• King of Babylon hath broken his bones; Who was this Nebuchad rezzar? A mighty great Prince, yet God looks upon him with indignation when he sees him breaking the bones of his people.

That is the second Article against Israel, That there was no Mercy.
