Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Jeremiah 43:8-13

Reader! look at God's people in their vassalage: part of them in Babylon, and part in Egypt! Is this the Lord's heritage? Well might the Prophet use his lamentations in the way he hath, and pour out his soul in prayer, see Lamentations 5:1 throughout. But, Reader! in the midst of judgments do not overlook how the Lord's grace follows the people. Jeremiah is still to preach, and still to prophesy. And although evil must come, yet goodness shall follow. Pray read Jeremiah 32:37 to the end.
