Terrors shall make him afraid Both from men and from God, and also from his own unquiet mind and guilty conscience. And drive him to his feet Shall force him to flee different ways, being safe nowhere, but pursued by terrors from place to place, which, as Houbigant renders it, shall be spread around his feet. His strength Either his children, who are, and are called a man's strength, Genesis 49:3; Psalms 127:4, or rather, his wealth, power, and prosperity; shall be hunger-bitten Or famished, that is, utterly consumed. The Vulgate renders it, His strength shall be eaten by famine. And destruction shall be ready at his side Shall attend him as a constant companion, or follow him at the heels as a diligent servant. Or, he may allude to an arrow fitted to a string, and ready to be discharged at him.
