This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
will hurt - Greek, “wishes,” or “desires to hurt them.”
fire ... devoureth - (Compare Jer 5:14; Jer 23:29).
out of their mouth - not literally, but God makes their inspired denunciations of judgment to come to pass and devour their enemies.
if any man will hurt them - twice repeated, to mark the immediate certainty of the accomplishment.
in this manner - so in like manner as he tries to hurt them (compare Rev 13:10). Retribution in kind.
