This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_18:6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD [is] your way wherein ye go.
Ver. 6. Go in peace: before the Lord is your way.] A doubtful answer; as the wary devil useth to be ëïîéò , equivocal, in his oracles: {a} that, which way soever things go, he may save his credit; as 1Ki_22:12, "For the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king." Yea, but of which king, thou lying spirit? - the king of Israel, or the king of Syria? So, Croesus Halyn penetrans magnam disperdet opum vim. And, Aio te Aeacida Romanos vicere posse, &c. So here, "Before the Lord is your way," may be interpreted, either, God seeth what you are going about: or, God will see to your safety, and give you good success. Satan vero et si semel videatur verax, millies est mendax, et semper fallax.
{a} Ite bonis avibus.
