Ezekiel 7:16

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

Ver. 16. But they that escaped of them.] Here we have the mournful repentance of them that escaped, Fere autem fit ut, malo demure accepto, oculos aperiamus, saith Lavater here.

All of them mourning, a every one for his iniquity.] Thus Hezekiah "mourned as a dove." Isa 38:14 And we mourn sore like doves, saith the Church; Isa 59:11 happy if it be every man for his iniquity, and not for the punishment of it only or mainly. See that it be a "sorrow according to God," a sorrow to a "transmentation." 2Co 7:10-11

a המת eiulantes, ut pueri solent qui virgis coercentur.
