And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Ver. 18. He who fleeth from the noise of the fear.] See Amos 5:19. See Trapp on " Amo 5:19 " And learn to fear God, the stroke of whose arm none may think to escape.
For the windows from on high are opened.] The cataract or sluices of the clouds, as once in the general deluge.
The foundations of the earth do shake.] Heaven and earth shall fight against them, and conspire to mischieve them.
