Whether it be done against a nation, &c.1
- 1[Greek or Hebrew]〈non-Latin alphabet〉
The particle which we render against, signifieth also for. We find it so translated Psal: 32.6. and at the 36th verse of this Chapter. Now, to do a thing for a nation or for a person, notes the doing of it with respect to or in favour of either. Thus we commonly speak in our language, pray do such or such a thing for me. To this sense some render here, whether it be done for a nation, or for a man only. So, Mr Broughton, whether it be done for a nation, or for an earthly man alone. But, whether we read for, or against, the general truth is the same. The word and power of God in sending good or evil upon nations or persons, in acting for or against them, is uncontrollable and irresistible.
