VER. 11. Also O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, &c.
These words are something difficult, I shall show the meaning of them, thus; Judah hath wrapped up her self in the same offence, in the same transgression received from Ephraim, (the ten Tribes) and it was grown up to an harvest of judgment, which was set, had its fixed time. But when? When I returned the captivity of my people. This refers to that time in 2 Chron. 28.6. where you shall find these three things: 1. The harvest set for Judah. 2. The captivity of Judah. 3. The return of their captivity. The harvest was set when Pekah, the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand men in one day, because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers; what a harvest was here set? and the text saith, They were all valiant men for the war.
