And the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Not only the many, but the mighty shall feel the Judgements of God; For as 'tis said in the former verse, He accepteth not the persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more then the poor; The mighty and the meanest of men are alike to God, when they are alike in sinning against God: If they do evil alike, they shall suffer evil alike; God accepteth no mans person.
