Vers. 11. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
Vers. 11. God hath delivered me to the vngodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
The words seemeth to b•are an allusion to the proceeding of an earthly Judge, who having tried a Malefactor, and found him guilty, pronounceth sentence of death upon him, and then delivers, or turns him over to those who•e office it is to see execution done accordingly.
The words seemeth to b•are an allusion to the proceeding of an earthly Judge, who having tryed a Malefactor, and found him guilty, pronounceth sentence of death upon him, and then delivers, or turnes him over to those who•e office it is to see execution done accordingly.
The word which we render to deliver, signifies also to shut up, which suites well with the former notion; for a condemned Person is more closely shut up, and more narrowly watched, then before: But who were the ungodly to whom he was delivered, and the wicked into whose hands, or power he was turned? These were not only the Chaldeans, and Sabeans, but also all such as showed any malice against him, or willingly afflicted him in his afflictions.
