6:16. For thou hast kept the statutes of Amri, and all the works of the
house of Achab: and thou hast walked according their wills, that I
should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof a hissing,
and you shall bear the reproach of my people.
The statutes of Amri, etc... The wicked ways of Amri and Achab,
idolatrous kings.

The prophet laments, that notwithstanding all his preaching, the
generality are still corrupt in their manners: therefore their
desolation is at hand: but they shall be restored again and prosper; and
all mankind shall be redeemed by Christ.

grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the

upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his

righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy

thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
7:6. For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up
against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a
man's enemies are they of his own household.
7:7. But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God, my saviour:
my God will hear me.
7:8. Rejoice not, thou my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall
arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
7:9. I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against
him: until he judge my cause, and execute judgement for me: he will
bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
7:10. And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame,
who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? my eyes shall look down upon
her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
She shall be covered, etc... Viz., Babylon my enemy.
7:11. The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day
shall the law be far removed.
The law... Viz., of thy enemies, who have tyrannized over thee.
7:12. In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the
fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and
from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
7:13. And the land shall be made desolate because of the inhabitants
thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
The land, etc... Viz., of Babylon.

that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed
in Basan and Galaad, according to the days of old.
7:15. According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt, I
will shew him wonders.

strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be
deaf.

the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the
Lord, our God, and shall fear thee.
