This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God inflict the same evils upon thee, which I suspect he hath pronounced against me, and greater evils too. Or, God do so, i.e. let God deal with thee so severely, as I cannot, or am loth to express. So it is a kind of aposiopesis, usual in oaths and in adjurations. The same phrase is in Rth_1:17. Thus he adjures him to utter the whole truth, as was usual among the Hebrews, as 1Ki_22:16 Mat_26:63.
