This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

9. ἀλλʼ οὐ προκόψουσιν ἐπὶ πλεῖον. Notwithstanding they shall not make further progress, because the hollowness of their pretensions is speedily disclosed. See 2Ti 2:16 above.

ἡ γὰρ ἄνοια αὐτῶν κ.τ.λ., for their senseless folly, &c. ἄνοια only occurs in N.T. here and at Luk 6:11.

ἔκδηλος ἔσται πᾶσιν, shall be openly manifest to all. Truth must prevail in the end, and imposture cannot permanently deceive. ἔκδηλος only occurs again (N.T. and LXX.) in 3Ma 3:19; 3Ma 6:5.

ὡς καὶ ἡ ἐκείνων ἐγένετο, even as the folly of the Egyptian magicians became manifest at last; cp. Exo 8:18; Exo 9:11.
