And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
Ver. 3. Because thou saidst, Aha.] Insolently insulting over mine Israel when under hatches; as when a tree is down, every man will be pulling at the branches, and Leoni mortuo vd mus insultat. But it is ill meddling against God's Church, be it but by a frown or a trump, as here. An aha or an euge shall not escape unpunished. Psa 35:21
