Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
Ver. 8. Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake] Here he comes, in with a Non-obstante. So Isaiah 57:17. Now, if God will save for his name's sake, what people is there whom he may not save?
That he might make his miqhly power to be known] The Lord hath other things to look unto than presently to punish his people when they most deserve it.
