Out of him, or out from him, from Judah, rather from the God of Judah, came forth the corner, which in buildings is strength and beauty; here it is the prince or ruler, which is in a polity as a corner-stone in buildings. Out of him the nail; from God the nail which fastens the tents of war, or fastens the timber together in a house. The battle bow; all warlike provision both of men and arms, synecdochically expressed by bow. Out of him every oppressor, or officer, exactor, collector of tribute. It was from God that Nebuchadnezzar mightily prevailed, and in the course of his victories oppressed Israel; and it is from God also that Judah is at last made free, grows up to such power as to be able to cope with his adversaries, to beat them, and to impose tribute on them. He sets up and pulls down as he pleaseth, Psa 9.
