Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The taking away of this parable is made the matter of a promise, Jer. xxxi. Here it is made the matter of a threatening. There it intimates that God will return to them in ways of mercy; here it intimates that God would proceed against them in ways of judgment.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb--because I will let it be seen by the whole world in the very fact that you are not righteous, as ye fancy yourselves, but wicked, and that you suffer only the just penalty of your guilt; while the elect righteous remnant alone escapes.
