Hast thou not procured this unto thy self] It is not through any want of love and kindnesse on Gods part, who continueth still the same: Vers. 2. Malachi 3:6. James 1:17. but through their own default, that such a change is befaln them, as is complained of, vers. 14. Chap. 4. 18. in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God] It is not Gods leaving of them, but their leaving of him. Vers. 13. Chap. 1. 16. when he led thee by the way] When he governed thee by his providence; (alluding to the conduct of them. Exodus 13:21. Isaiah 63:12.) and would still so have done, hadst thou continued in obedience. Isaiah 58:8; Isaiah 58:11. Or, who prescribed thee a way and course of life to walk in; which hadst thou observed, thou hadst been safe and successefull. Isa. 48. 18, 19. &64. 5. Ezekiel 20:10-11.
