Lest the LORD see [it], and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Ver. 18. Lest the Lord see it,] viz., Thy pride and cruelty, as he will, for he is ολοφθαλμος, all eye, and εχει Yεος εκδικον ομμα, if he see, he will kindle and turn the wheel upon thee, as he threatened to do upon Edom, for looking with liking upon Israel's calamity. For prevention hereof, think thus with thyself, Either I am like mine enemy, or else I am better or worse than he. If like him, why may not I look for the like misery? If better, who made me to differ? If worse, what reason then have I to insult? See Obadiah 1:12 .
