Thy judgments are as the light. That is, passively, thy threatenings Expos. 1 upon them, or the execution of those threatenings upon them shall break out as the light; though they have slain my Prophets, and think thereby to free themselves from those judgments which they threatened against them; no saith God, for all this I will make known my threatenings, which they
