Therefore have I hewed them— Or, Therefore have I cut them down. Houbigant reads, Certainly I have done what it pleased me to your prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth; and light shall arise from my judgments upon thee: "That light which you hoped for, of the approaching morning, or of recovered liberty." See Houbigant.
