He will break them down.
I find some Interpreters render the words thus,1 It shall break them down, and so apply it to their divided hearts. Ipsum cor, for so the Pronoun that is translated, he, is relative, and the Antecedent according to the former Exposition is in that last Verse of the former Chapter where he had spoken of God; but according to this Interpretation the Antecedent is: Their heart is divided: Their hearts, their very dissentions, their divisions shall break down their Altars, and spoil their Images.
