The meaning is, the peoples corruptnesse sheweth it selfe in this; that publike orders serve for nothing, but to make them fitting for idolatry, and not to turn and amend them. a mnth devoure them] Their destruction is not farre off: or a short time will serve for to root them quite out. See Zechariah 11:8.
