Or 3. In pace, in peace, Calvin interprets thus: In a silent quiet way he shall withdraw himself and his Forces; there shall not be much noise of him, but he shall weary the Forces of the other and their party, and gain time and advantages of them. When he seems to be quiet, and comes not against them in a hostile way, even then shall he destroy many, yea he shall stand up against the Prince of Princes. He shall not acknowledge the Majesty, the power of God, he shall set himself against those ways of Providence that are apparently against him, howsoever he will not see it; but then says the Text, he shall be broken without hand. God himself in some wonderful way that you know not of shall break him, when all means fail, and all people shall be afraid that all will come ⟨p. 113⟩to ruin and misery, then shall he be broken without hand.

We complain much of sad things that we suffer, but we suffer not such things as the people of God, so dear unto him, suffered in those times. Our sins cry as loud as theirs for the like miseries; but God is free in his grace. It is from the Lord of Hosts that we are preserved from such fearful evils as these.
