Thy judgments are as the light. That is, passively, thy threatenings Expos. 1 upon them, or the execution of those threatenings upon them shall break out as the light; though they have slain my Prophets, and think thereby to free themselves from those judgments which they threatened against them; no saith God, for all this I will make known my threatenings, which they ⟨p. 592⟩have denounced against them; when the Prophet Jeremiah had delivered the message of God to the Princes and the Priests they laid hold on him, and said, he should surely die, Jer. 26.8.
