Will bring evil; will execute his judgments upon you, notwithstanding all that you or your allies the Egyptians can do to hinder it.



Will not call back his words, his threatenings denounced against you, but will infallibly execute them.



Will arise; though at present he sit still, yet he will bestir himself and fight.



Against the house of evil-doers; against this wicked and rebellious people of the Jews.



The help; the helpers, as it is explained in the next verse; the abstract being put for the concrete.
