We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Ver. 25. We lie down in our shame.] We that once had a whore's forehead, Jer 3:3 and seemed past grace, are now sore ashamed of former miscarriages, yea, our confusion covereth us, as Psa 44:15 because "we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of our God." Lo, here a dainty form and pattern of penitent confession, such as is sure to find mercy. Haec sane omni tempore Christiana est satisfactio, non meritoria aliqua Papistica atque nugivendula. a Only we must not acknowledge sin with dry eyes, but point every sin with a tear, &c.
a Zegedin.
