CONTENTS
This Chapter is as the former, and but a continuation of the same sermon. It contains the Lord's expostulation with his people for their sins and transgressions.
There is somewhat particular, and worth notice in this personal direction to Benjamin. Distinguishing mercies are sweet mercies. Beth-haccerem means the house of vineyards. The Church is called, a vineyard of red wine. Isaiah 27:1-2. I do not say as much, but I would humbly ask, may not the expression without violence be supposed to refer to Christ as the defense?
