If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Ver. 11. If they say.] The dragon bites the elephant's ear, and thence sucks his blood; because he knows that to be the only place that he cannot reach with his trunk to defend. So deal the red dragon and his angels: "with good words and fair speeches they deceive the hearts of the simple" Rom 16:18 "With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him." Pro 7:21
Come with me.] If sinners have their "Come," should not saints much more? "Come, let us go up to the house of the Lord." Isa 2:3 "Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord." Isa 2:5 "Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I will go also." Zec 8:21 Should we not incite, entice, whet, and "provoke a one another," Heb 10:24 "sharpen" and extimulate, Pro 27:17 rouse and "stir up" b each other to love and good works? 2Pe 1:13
