This verse contains in it the exposition of the former sentence; for he denounceth and repeats but the same thing as it were; to wit, that the Egyptians shall stand the Jews in no stead, albeit they weary their bodies, and empty their purses never so much in seeking help at their hands. As if he should say; Egypts strength shall be unprofitable unto you, notwithstanding they should do their uttermost, and employ all their power to that end. Thus the Jews should be utterly frustrated of their hopes, and to their great grief should find themselves much deceived. The letter Vau, here signifies For, or, Surely, as I have translated it.
