see ye the word of the LORD] Or, consider; as vers. 19. Chap. 33. 24. see the word as, hear the rod, Mic. 6. 9. Consider seriously of either. have I been a wildernesse unto Israel] Vers. 5. Have I held them to hard meat, as cattell kept on a bare heath or wilde waste? yea, have I not furnished them with abundance of all things? Isaiah 5:4. a land of darknesse] Heb. darknesse of God. extream darknesse; as Son 8:6. Darknesse, for miserie; as Lamentations 3:2. We are lords] Heb. We have dominion. Hosea 11:12. 1 Corinthians 4:8. We are grown to a kingdom of that strength, that we are able to stand without thy support. we will come no more unto thee] We will no longer be ruled by thee; we can do well enough without thee. Psal. 30. 6, 7. Chap. 22. 21.
