We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for a time of health, and behold trouble!
Ver. 15. We looked for peace, but no good came.] Our false prophets have merely deluded us. So poor souls, when stung by the friars' sermons, were set to penances and good deeds, which stilled them for a while, but could not yield them any lasting comfort. The soul is still ready to shift and shark in every bycorner for ease; but that will not be till it comes to Christ.
