1And the Lord delivered the Canaanites. The holy Scripture observeth his old order, to say that they which are overcome in battle are delivered into their enemies hands by God, and speaketh thus to admonish us, that victory is not the work of our own strength, but of the goodness and counsel of God. Wherefore soldiers and emperors when they have the upper hand in battles, they must bridle them selves from boasting and glorying, which Jeremiah also faithfully giveth counsel to do. For he saith, let not him that is mighty glory in his own strength. Nebuchadnezzar king of the Babylonians foolishly despising this, was so vexed & tossed with madness, that he was almost changed into a dumb beast. Wherefore the administration of the kingdom was taken away from him, & he lived in great misery of long time, who out of doubt had not fallen into so great misfortune, if (as it was mete) he had confessed that what soever he had gotten was given him by the providence and counsel of God. But as Daniel mentioneth, he being puffed up with the nobleness and dignity of his acts, most presumptuously and proudly bragged of them: for he said, that in the strength and might of his own arm, he had established the kingdom of Babylon.
1And the Lord deliuered the Chananites. The holy Scripture obserueth his olde order, to say that they whiche are ouercome in battaile are deliuered into their enemies handes by God, and speaketh thus to adminishe vs, that victory is not the worke of our owne strength, but of the goodnesse and counsel of God. Wherfore souldiours and emperours whē they haue the vpper hand in battailes, they must bridle them selues from boasting and gloryeng, which Ieremy also faithfully geueth counsell to do. For he sayth, let not him that is mightye glory in his owne strength. Nebuchadnezar kyng of the Babilonians folishely despising this, was so vexed & tossed with madnesse, that he was almost chaū ged into a dumbe beaste. Wherefore the administration of the kyngdome was taken away from him, & he liued in great misery of long time, who out of doubt had not fallen into so great misfortune, if (as it was mete) he had confessed that what soeuer he had gotten was geuen him by the prouidence and coūsel of God. But as Daniel mencioneth, he being puffed vp with the noblenesse and dignitie of his actes, most presumptuously and proudly bragged of them: for he sayd, that in the strength and might of hys owne arme, he had established the kyngdome of Babilon.
