2. By thine enemies in way of scorn and contumely, by comparing this place with Eze_16:37 23:29.
Thy shame shall be seen upon thee for thy many and great injuries done to my people.
I will take vengeance, as a man meets his enemy in the field, to contend with thee.
I will not meet thee as a man, with moderation and gentleness, as those men who have not quite put off humanity use to do; but like a lion tearing thee to pieces, to which God in such case compareth himself, as Hos_5:14 13:7,8: compare Hos_11:4.
