33 Judgments of spoilers of the church.
34 Judgments on Zion's foes.
35 What happy things the gospel brings.
36 Profane Rabshakeh grows.
37 Kill'd in a night the Assyrian's host,
38 King Hezekiah heal'd.
39 His treasures vaunts to visitants.
40 The gospel-times reveal'd.
41 Loathed of God are Idols all.
42 Christ's offices explain'd.
43 His flock he keeps in fire and deeps.
44 Idolaters disdain'd.
45 Mention'd by name king Cyrus is.
46 Of Bel, and Nebo's doom.
47 For pride and spite, God Babel smites,
48 From thence his church shall come.
49 Not own'd by Jews, Christ Gentiles saves,
50 Shews he had power to save;
51 Jews mean descent doth represent.
52 Bids them his word receive.
53 Obstinate Jews Christ's cross despise.
54 The Gentiles are consol'd.
55 Let every one that thirsteth come:
56 The dumb dogs now are told.
57 Pious men die and none regard.
58 False fasts the seer reproves.
59 'Tis wickedness that hides God's face,
60 The Gentiles flock like doves.
61 Qualify'd Christ to preach begins.
62 His ministers ordains.
63 Tis he doth tread the wine-press red.
64 The church of sin complains.
65 Rejected are the faithless Jews,
And Gentiles called home.
66 What comfort then for holy men,
To see their fulness come.
_JEREMIAH_
1 An almond rod Jeremy sees,
2 God asks why Jews revolt.
3 Israel turns whore, but Judah more,
4 Both charg'd to mend their fault.
5 Because of sins, plagues threaten'd are.
6 Their foes doth God inspire.
7 Threatens to do as to Shiloh,
8 That death they shall desire.
9 Crimes and calamities bewail'd.
10 Their heathen customs vain.
11 The cov'nant they do disobey.
12 Why thrive the wicked train?
13 Down by Euphrates hides his belt.
14 God sends a grievous dearth.
15 To hear refuses Samuel and Moses.
16 Forbids both grief and mirth.
17 Each man is curst that trusts in man.
18 God claims the potter's rights.
19 By bottle broke, forshews a stroke.
20 Pashur the prophet smites.
21 Foretels the king a dismal siege.
22 On Shallum judgments sad.
23 On prophets vain and priests prophane,
24 He sees figs good and bad.
25 Gives warning of captivity,
26 Is taken, try'd, acquitted;
27 Sends yokes and bands to many lands,
28 Is by false prophets twitted.
29 He writes, and bids the captives build,
30 And their return descries.
31 Rachel with groans her babes bemoans,
32 Hanameel's field he buys.
33 Jews sure return once more foretels,
34 Freed slaves are brought in thrall,
35 To wine invites the Rechabites.
36 The king doth burn the roll.
37 Kept first in ward the prophet is.
38 Then to the dungeon sent.
39 The city won, he freed anon,
40 To Gedaliah went.
41 Lewd men to Gedaliah slay.
42 A lie the remnant feign.
43 To Egypt's wo they thither go,
44 And their own grief and pain.
