Thomas Aquinas

Here is set down the disproof of the falsehood. And first he excludes the false consolation, by the likeness of the deed: "thou hast broken" — thou, Hananiah; and "thou shalt make" — thou, Jeremiah — as a sign of the increasing of the punishment. Job 6: they who fear the frost, snow shall rush upon them. And the exposition of the likeness: "for thus saith the Lord"; as if he were to say: the yoke of servitude shall be harder than it was foreshown to be. Eccl. 28: the yoke of it is a yoke of iron, and the bond of it is a bond of bronze. Secondly is set down the threat against the prophesier himself: and first is set down the repression of the fault: "and Jeremiah said (...) he hath not sent thee." Isa. 24: we have made a lie our hope, and by a lie we are protected. Secondly is set down the threat of punishment: "therefore I will send thee away"; that is, I will take thee away by death. Psalm. 18: not so the wicked, not so; but as the dust which the wind driveth from the face of the earth. Thirdly is set down the fulfillment of the prophecy: "and he died in the seventh month": whence he survived no more than two months. 1 Thess. 5: when they shall say, peace and security; then sudden destruction shall come upon them, as pain upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.
