is supplied by the translators , and that there is no wordth the original to answer to the word wherewith in the translation , that the verb * Op here rendered call by our translators , is by them rendered preachy Jon * iii .. £ , proclaim Jer . viu 2 , cry aloud ? Isa . Iviiu 1 , and so elsewhere : that nb rendered she is a pronoun feminine of the dative case and has here the ernpbasis of shewing ta whom the preaching was to be , viz , to her , the antecedent Judah and Jerusalem :
