Ver. 11. That the house of Israel may go no more astray.] Thus "when God's judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." Isa 26:9 Those elect that were bad will become good, and they that were good will he made better. Poena ad paucos, metus ad omnes. When a few are punished, all fear.
