Therefore the people that do not understand shall fall.
This is the close of the verse. Well might he say that they are a people that understand not indeed,1 Idolaters are no understanding people, they do not understand, they are ignorant people. You will say, ignorant, many of them are Scholars and learned? But they are ignorant of the ways of God, even their Priests are and for the most part the people are, and their very design is to bring ignorance into places, that their Idolatrous ways may be the sooner embraced.
