That have fought against; maliciously to destroy, and waste, and extirpate Jerusalem; the ringleaders, especially such as Antiochus, Herod, &c. Their flesh shall consume away; when they are fat, fleshy, and strong, their flesh or strength shall utterly perish. While they stand on their feet; either in arms ready to fight, or so suddenly they shall not have time to sit down; a very sudden death is threatened to them. Their eyes shall consume away in their holes; a dreadful and exemplary blindness shall seize them. Their tongue shall consume away in their mouth; in which member, by strange judgments on them, some persecutors also have felt God's hand.
