This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_19:25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Ver. 25. But the men would not hearken] Unruly lust hath no ears. Fertur equis aurigo, nec audit currus habenis: like heavy bodies down steep hills, which once in motion, move themselves, and know no ground but the bottom.
And abused her all the night.] Factitarunt in ea; vel occuparunt sese in ea: opus abominabile fecerunt in ea in coitu. {a} This was a just hand of God upon her for her former filthiness and unfaithfulness. Lais, that notorious harlot, died in the act of uncleanness: so did Pope Paul IV, of whom the proverb went, Eum per eandum partem vitam profudisse per quam acceperat. {b}
{a} Piscat. Vatab.
{b} Jac. Revius, De Vit. Pontiff
