Thirdly, their malicious behaviour against Christians doth with a strong hand draw themselves into misery, and lift the others out of it. The Egyptians made it their exercise to drown the children of the Israelites, and God delivering the Israelites made the Egyptians to be drowned. Haman cast about with all his wits, how he might bring Mordecai to the gallows, and the Lord appointed in his wisdom that the gallows should catch up Haman. And so stood the case with Daniels enemies, they were driven with their own flesh and family to feed the hons which they had appointed to eat up Daniel. The Edomites were glad to see the Jews drink so bitter a draught of calamity, as the Babylonians by Gods righteous judgement had mingled for them; and therefore the Lord would make the Edomites to pledge them in the same cup, and was more favourable to the Jews for their rejoicing at them. For so he speaketh to them both in the Lamentations: Rejoice, and be glad O daughter Edom that dwellest in the land of Uz, the cup also shall pass through unto ⟨p. 27⟩thee: thou shalt be drunken and vomit. Thy punishment is accomplished, O daughter Zion: he will no more carry thee into captivity. Lam. 4. 21.
