heap, &c.. receive from thine enemy [and place] upon his head. Figure of speech Ellipsis (Relative), App-6. As hatha = receive, the Ellipsis must be thus supplied: i.e. If thou doest good to one whose burning words (Proverbs 16:27; Proverbs 26:23) thou hast received, they will burn him in another sense. Illustration: David (1 Samuel 24:16-22).
