we offer to thee. Under thine hand - To heal it.
Verse 7. An healer - A repairer of the ruins of the state.
Verse 9. The shew - Their pride, and wantonness, and impiety m

act it publickly, casting off all fear of God and reverence to men.
Rewarded - Procured a fit recompense for their wickedness, even
utter ruin.
Verse 10. Say ye - O ye priests and Levites, that God will be their
safeguard and portion.
Verse 12. Women - Weak and effeminate rulers. They - Thy rulers civil
and ecclesiastical.
Verse 13. Standeth - He will shortly and certainly stand up as a judge, to
inquire into the cause, and to give sentence. To judge - To defend
and deliver them.
Verse 14. Ancients - The princes or rulers; such were commonly chosen
out of those who were in ripe years. Eaten - Destroyed instead of
preserving the church and commonwealth of Israel. Spoil - The
goods which you have violently taken away from the poor.
Verse 16. The daughters - The women; (hitherto he reproved the men).
A tinkling - By some ornaments which they wore upon their
shoes.
Verse 17. Secret paths - By giving her into the power of those enemies
that shall strip her of all her raiment.
Verse 18. Cauls - It is agreed by all, that this and several words that
follow, were ornaments used in those times. And it is of no
concern, exactly to understand the nature and differences of them.
The moon - There were in ancient times, and at this day there are
some ornaments worn, which carry a manifest resemblance to the
moon or half moon.
Verse 20. Tablets - He seems to mean boxes of perfumes.
Verse 21. Nose-jewels - Which were fastened to the head, and hung
down upon the forehead to the beginning of the nose.
Verse 22. Pins - Of silver or gold, either used to curl the hair, or fastened
and worn in the hair.
Verse 23. Glasses - The looking-glasses, as we call them, tho' in truth
they were not made of glass, but of bright and burnished brass.
Verse 24. Girdle - Which were fine and costly, and useful to gird their
garments about them. A rent - Torn and tattered garments.
Burning - By the heat of the sun, to which they are now
commonly exposed, from which they used formerly to guard
themselves with the utmost care.
Verse 26. Gates - The gates of Zion or Jerusalem, which, by a figure, are
said to lament, to imply the great desolation of the place; that
there would be no people to go out and come in by the gates, as
they used to do. Shall sit - Like a mournful woman bewailing the
loss of her husband and children.
