Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou [land] devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
Ver. 13. Thou land devourest up men,] a scil., By pestilence, famine, sword, evil beasts: thou art an unlucky land, an unblest country, feral and fatal to thine inhabitants. Hesiod saith the like of his country Ascre; and another b of St David's in Wales, that it is a place neither pleasant, fertile, nor safe. Strabo saith the like of Judea, but with a despiteful mind. as Eze 36:5 Those malevolent spies said no less. Num 13:32
a Terra abortiens populos.
b Girald., Cambrens.
