1He shows now more at large, that which he touched but briefly in the former verse, namely, that when the matter shall come to the up-shot, they shall be confounded: for the clause, let them deliver thee, signifies as much as if he had said; they shall not be able to do it. In this verse then he alludes to that which he said before, in vers. 9. to wit, Thou wentest to Kings with thy presents. And for this cause he calls all the means whereby the Jews thought to secure themselves, gathered: for in resting thereupon, they prostituted themselves to all kinds of villainies, as if they had had been liable to no punishment at all, in regard they were fortified with ramparts on every side. But the Lord shows how vain all their preparations are, that are thus gathered together without him.
