First, To shew the absoluteness of the power of God, as well in setting up, as in casting down:
Secondly, To show that we need not be dismayed nor discouraged, when we see God breaking in pieces some or many mighty men, for he can find out others to supply their room,1 and fill up the breaches which he hath made. He sets others in their stead. The force of the Hebrew is, He shall make others to stand; and that's more then barely to set another in the stead or place of those that are removed and broken. God is able not only when many fall to raise up others, but he can also establish and settle those whom he raiseth up. That's the meaning of Elihu, when he saith And set others in their stead.
