have seen for thee false burdens, and causes of banishment] Heb. burdens of vanitie and expulsions. Prophecies of threatnings against thine enemies, Isaiah 13:1. but false ones, Jeremiah 38:2; Jeremiah 38:4; Jeremiah 38:11. and flattering ones; such as have been means of expelling thee out of thy land, by hardning thee in thy sinne, Isaiah 3:12.
