This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Neither shall one thrust another: the prophet, in pursuance of the allegory, tells us how this army of locusts do move without disorder; so shall they who are hereby typified; it is much the same with the last clause of the former verse.
They shall walk; before it was run, i.e. for speed, now it is walk, for stedfast and even motion.
Every one in his path; the track he first takes to, follow his leader exactly, and observe rank and file.
When they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded; the sword shall not be a weapon to destroy them, they shall run among swords, yet not be wounded; literally verified in the locusts, and verified in the strange preservations and escapes from dangers in midst of the most desperate adventures made by Assyrians or Babylonians.
