But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
Ver. 21. But God shall wound the head of his enemies] Cruentabit caput, a wound in the head if deep (and God strikes no small blows) is mortal. Christ will break the head of those that bruise his heel, that attempt anything against him and his. By head here Diodati understandetb the devil, that prince of the world, Deuteronomy 32:42 Psa 110:6 Habakkuk 3:13. Evil spirits in Scripture are called Shegnirim, shag-haired, Lev 17:7 Isaiah 13:21. And they go on in their trespasses; they do infinitely hate God, and sin that sin against the Holy Ghost every moment. But the most understand it of wicked men.
And the hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still, &c.] This is God's enemy, that by his wilful wickedness striketh, and as it were shooteth, at God, runneth upon him, even upon his neck, and upon the thick bosses of his bucklers, Job 15:25,26, His hairy scalp, setting forth his fierceness, Job 5:5. Note this against anti-roundheads. See Ezekiel 44:20 .
