Testify.] In the Original it is, answereth to his face,1 When any thing i• returned suitable to its work, that is said to answer that work: that is thus; when the ground brings forth Corn for the husbandman, then it answereth unto the seed and labour of the husbandman. Gen. 30.33. My righteousness shall answer for me saith Jacob to Laban, I shall have that which is suitable to my righteousness. So here, the pride of Israel answereth to his face (so you may read it) that is, the fruit of Expos. 1 their pride shall be (in the punishment of it) fully answerable unto the sinfulness of it: so I find many turn it. Mic. 1.2. Let the Lord be witness against you, (testify against you, it is the same word) or answer you according unto your sins, in the way of punishment; that's the meaning. When the Lord bringeth judgments suitable unto, and full up to mens sins, those judgments do answer to mens sins; yea and they witness against them, they witness to the faces of those men the guilt of those sins.
