VER. 21. Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake saying, These are come to fray them away, and to cast out the horns of the Gentiles. Look how they dealt by Gods people, so God will deal by them; they scattered Israel, and the God of Israel will raise up instruments that shall scatter them; they cast out Gods people, and they shall be cast out. Scattering enemies shall be scattered themselves at last.
