The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
Ver. 10. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought] i.e. He counterworketh the devil and his imps, who would overturn and destroy the fair order of nature, mingle heaven and earth together, as it were, and soon mar all. God frustrateth the counsels and attempts of such tumultuating firebrands and trouble states; and maugre their malice preserveth politics, laws, judgments, and natural equity; without which mankind could not long subsist. "Who, then, would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain," Jer 10:7 Revelation 15:4 .
