For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Ver. 13. For the seller shall not return,] scil., At the year of jubilee, by reason of the land's desolation.
Which shall not return.] Or rather, It shall not return, scil., void and ineffectual, but shall be accomplished.
Neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.] That is but an ill defence. "The spirit of power and of a sound mind" are fitly set together. 2Ti 1:7 Men's iniquity will be their ruin. Munster rendereth the text thus: For that whenas the vision was to the whole multitude thereof, no man returned, neque ullus propter iniquitatem suam pro anima sua se roberabat; neither did any one (by reason of his iniquity) strengthen himself for his own soul, i.e., use means to escape the just punishment of it.
