What is the burden— See Isaiah 13:1; Isaiah 13:22. As the scoffers and infidels make a derision of this term, they are forbidden to mention it any more as ambiguous; and, instead of inquiring, What is the burden of the Lord? they are commanded to say, What hath the Lord answered? &c. See Jeremiah 23:35 and Newton on the Prophesies, vol. 1: p. 357. Instead of, I will even forsake you, we may read, I will disburden myself of you.
