Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Ver. 18. Whose feet they hurt with fetters] God hereby fitting him for that great service; as he did afterwards Moses, by forty years' banishment in Midian, and David, by Saul's persecution, till his soul was even as a weaned child, Psalms 131:2 .
He was laid in iron] Heb. His soul came into iron; or, the iron entered into his soul; but sin entered not into his conscience. See a like phrase Luke 2:35 .
