First, Collectively, as combined by leagues, or as marshalled by orders into an Host: as if he had said, though an Army of them be gathered together, even a numberless Army, yet the Lord can break them in pieces, (Isa. 8.9.) Associate your selves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird your selves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

Secondly, We may take these mighty men singly or personally; Thus the Lord breaketh in pieces mighty men without number, one after another, one at this time, and another at that time; how many of them soever arise up one after another to oppose him, to oppress his people, or to do wickedly, they shall surely be broken. Mr Broughton renders to this sense, He bruiseth, mighty men without end, he doth not break them without end, as having no end in breaking them, but as without end, notes his breaking them endlessly, or for ever. If men will sin without end, he can break them without end; he can renew destruction, as fast as they renew transgression.
