7. Inhumanity, or trampling on such as are cast down. dThus did Edom on Israel, they executed cruelty on them in the time of their calamity, Therefore as I live, saith the Lord, I will do even according to thine anger, &c. On such a ground the Lord also thus in wrath menaceth the Heathen, eI am sore displeased at the Heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. fPekah a King of Israel having slain many of the children of Judah, the children of Israel took of all sorts, even women and children 200000 to carry them away captives. But a Prophet of the Lord restrained their fury by this speech, Deliver the captives again: for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you. Such inhumanity, as it is in it self a most odious vice, so more then most odious in his sight, who is a God of pity and compassion. gTo them therefore, against such as in thirst gave vinegar to drink, he thus crieth, Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
