Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
Ver. 40. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled] Sin doth as naturally draw and suck judgments to it as the loadstone doth iron, or turpentine fire.
Insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance] This was the greatest of all miseries, and a piece of hell.
