The Prophet complaineth unto God, considering the great felicitie of the wicked, and the miserable oppression of the godlie, which indure all kind of affliction and crueltie, and yet can see none end. Therefore he had this revelation shewed him of God, that the Caldeans shulde came and take them awaie captives, so that theycould look for none end of their troubles as yet, because of their stubbernes and rebellion against the Lord. And lest the godlie shulde despaire, seing this horrible confusion, he comforteth them by this that God will punish the Caldeans their enemies, when their pride and crueltie shalbe at height: wherefore he exhorteth the faithful to pacience by his own example, and sheweth them a form of prayer, wherewith they shulde comfort them selves.
