Though these three men] Jeremiah 15:1. Noah, Daniel, and Job] Though Noah and Job were now alive, which in their time were most godly men, (for at this time Daniel was in captivitie with Ezekiel) and so these three together should pray for this wicked people, yet would I not hear them: read Jeremiah 15:1. righteousnesse] Meaning, that a very few (which he calleth a remnant, vers. 22.) should escape these plagues, whom God hath sanctified and made righteous: so that this righteousnesse is a signe that they are the Church of God, whom he would preserve for his own sake.
