With my God

With my God.

It must needs be a great grief to those who have the true knowledge of God, and indeed have interest in him, to see others who are false to maintain that which is evil; and yet to pretend to God, as if they were for God, and for the glory of God, and to set up God as much as any. The Prophet seems to speak in grief and trouble, these watch-men of Ephraim, those among the ten tribes, they will pretend to be for God, to be for my God.

Vatablus has a further note upon this, (says he) Ephraim made to himself a watch-man, and would hear him, and would hear them together with his God, like mad-men would hear them together with God, and so they would worship idols and God too, they would seem to respect the true Prophets and false Prophet, both which is a mere madness, (thus he.)
