I have also spoken by the prophets— Here are three species of prophesy distinctly mentioned: first, immediate suggestion or inspiration, when God dictates the very words which the prophet is to deliver. Secondly, vision, or a representation made of external objects to the imagination, in as lively a manner as if they were conveyed to the senses: and thirdly, parables and apt resemblances. The Lord is here recounting some of the distinguished acts of his sovereign mercy to the Israelites, in order to shew their ingratitude more fully.
