- 1The Chaldees shall miserably waste the kingdom of Juda: 9. take away sacrifice by destroying the temple: 10. and so make the land barren spiritually, and temporally.
- 2The Chaldees will assault and afflict the Jews with great violence. 12. After humble repentance in captivity, 18. God's benignity will comfort them. 23. with abundance of spiritual grace by Christ: 28. sending also the Holy Ghost. 30. And terrible signs before the day of Judgement.
- 3After the conversion of the Jews to Christ, 2. shortly followeth the general Judgement. 3. where every one according to their deserts, shall receive (expressed here in parabolical speech) 7. & 19. the wicked everlasting pain: 18. & 20. and the blessed eternal joy.
