Jeremiah 37:9

Jer 37:9 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.

Ver. 9. Deceive not yourselves. ] As far too many do, qui praesumendo sperant, et sperando pereunt. hope beforehand and will die hoping.

For they shall not depart, ] scil., For altogether; not for any space of time, or to any purpose. Like hereunto is that in Matthew 9:24 , "The damsel is not dead."
