Secondly, Others translate them thus; with shame they call, Expos. 2 bring ye, that is, with shame they call for pleasure to the flesh,1 so Ari•s Montanus, Let us have our pleasure, our tables furnished, let us have our honours and what care we what becomes of the people, let us have our minds, do you our service what we would have done, and what becomes of them it is no matter. Such kind of Rulers and Governors had the ten Tribes when they were such Idolaters; And it is just with God when people forsake the true worship of God that he should send them such Governors as these are.

- 1Arias Montan.
But I rather take the scope of the Spirit of God to be according Expos. 3 as we read them, to rebuke them fo• •heir bribery, They love with shame to say, Give ye. They will not only take liberty privately but they are grown so impudent that they will sell all the good of a Kingdom, the liberty of the Subject all for their own gain. They say with shame, gie ye. It is a great judgment of God upon a people when Magistrates and Governors are given to bribery, to regard gift and the increase of their estates more than the public good.
