Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou [art] the guide of my youth?
Ver. 4. Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me?] And is not this extreme impudence? Hast thou a face thus to collogue? Hypocritis nihil impudentius; hypocrites are impudent flatterers; they would, if they could, cheat God of his heaven.
Thou art the guide of my youth,] i.e., My dear husband. Pro 2:17 Fair words are light cheap, and may make fools fain; but God is not to be so courted and complimented.
