After many and great promises of sundry blessings and benefits whereby the Lord had before encouraged these people of the Jews to go forward in the building of the Temple, wherein at this time they showed themselves somewhat slack: Hear again for the strengthening of their hands, and the cheering of their hearts to stir them up, again in these words, the Prophet reneweth one of the former promises, concerning the plenty of temporal blessings of wine and oil, so the comfort of which benefit is annexed and set out by the contrary (to wit) barrenness, blasting, by which for their sins they were chastised in the former year, and least being the only people chosen to serve the Lord, they should flatter themselves in the multitude of their sacrifices and religious worshipping of the Lord, and think therefore that they were not so plagued for their sins, they are advertised from the Lord, that notwithstanding their dally offerings and services, and not only their other actions were displeasing to him, but even their sacrifices abominable in his sight, so long as they neglected his Commandments and left his Temple unbuilt.
