Vers. 18. As to make recompense, as to requite the fury of the adversaries, with a recompense to his enemies: he will fully repay the Islands.
Vers. 18. As to make recompence, as to requite the furie of the aduersaries, with a recompence to his enemies: hee will fully repay the Ilands.
He confirms the conclusion of the former verse.1 For here he shows, what that vengeance is, wherewith he clothed the ⟨p. 610⟩Lord, namely, that he is ready to render the like unto his enemies. But the reason why the Prophet arms the Lord thus ready with indignation to execute his vengeance, is to be noted, to wit, because the deliverance of his Church is joined with the ruin of the wicked. It is needful therefore that God should be armed to meet those enemies which would work our destruction.
