Egipto como río se hincha, y las aguas se mueven como ríos, y dijo: Subiré, cubriré la tierra, destruiré la ciudad y los que en ella moran.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- An encouragement sent to Baruch.
Baruch was employed in writing Jeremiah's prophecies, and reading them see Jer. 36, and was threatened for it by the king. Young beginners i religion are apt to be discouraged with little difficulties, which the commonly meet with at first in the service of God. These complaints an fears came from his corruptions. Baruch had raised his expectations to high in this world, and that made the distress and trouble he was in harder to be borne. The frowns of the world would not disquiet us, i we did not foolishly flatter ourselves with the hopes of its smiles and court and covet them. What a folly is it then to seek great thing for ourselves here, where every thing is little, and nothing certain The Lord knows the real cause of our fretfulness and despondency bette than we do, and we should beg of him to examine our hearts, and to repress every wrong desire in us _________________________________________________
