Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
Ver. 8. Ye have feared the sword.] And yet they made as if they feared nothing; they doubted not but to die in their nest; but all guilt hath fear, and all such fear hath torment.
And I will bring a sword upon you.] Such as all your craft can never keep off. Ineluctabilis vis fatorum, cuius fortunam mutare canstituit, consilia corrumpit. a See Proverbs 10:24. See Trapp on " Pro 10:24 "
