I am forgotten, &c. Whatsoever good service I have done to the king or kingdom, or to any particular persons, which they have sometimes acknowledged and highly commended, is now quite forgotten by them all: or at least they behave toward me as if it were so. As a dead man out of mind Whose name and memory are quite lost within a few days. I am like a broken vessel Made of earth, which is irreparable and useless, and therefore despised by all. For I have heard With my own ears, or learned by information from others, the slander of many Who reproach and defame me, as a turbulent and seditious person, an enemy to the public peace, and a conspirator against the king's life, or dignity. Fear was on every side Just cause for fear, even of the loss of my life; while they took counsel together against me בהוסדם יחד, behiv-vasedam jachad, in their assembling together, and holding consultations; they devised, or plotted to take away my life Namely, unjustly and violently. This and the preceding verses are plainly applicable to the Lord Jesus, and to the life of sorrow and reproach which he led among men.
