* Moreover.
Blayney justly observes, that the change of speakers here
requires to be carefully attended to. The prophet first, in
the name of God, reproves the people, and threatens them with
grievous calamities, ver. 4-13. Then, apostrophising his
countrymen, he advises them to retire with him to some
fortified city, ver. 14-16. God then threatens to bring foes
against them, that are irresistible, ver. 17. The prophet
next commiserates the daughter of his people, who is heard
bewailing her forlorn case; whilst the voice of God breaks in
upon her complaints, and shows that all this ruin is brought
upon her by her infidelities, ver. 18-20. The prophet
regrets that her wounds had not been healed, and laments over
her slain, ver. 21; ch. 9:1.
