That is, they prepare to deceive and ensnare: The Prophet denounceth judgement against the Priests, against the house of Israel, and against the house of the King, because they had been a snare upon Mizpeh, and a net spread upon Tabor (Hos. 5.1.) that is, because they had prepared nets and snares to entangle and deceive the people. Their bellies prepared deceit; and so did theirs, who said (Jer. 18.18.) Come let us devise devises; let us contrive somewhat to ensnare the Prophet (Jer. 18.18.) Their belly prepareth deceit: He speaks in the present tense, as if they were always doing it; they know neither vacation nor cessation from this wicked work. It is a continued act, Their belly prepareth.
