Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
Ver. 23. Let their eyes be darkened] Let them be infatuated and besotted, that they may go hoodwinked to hell.
And make their loins continually to shake] Ne fugiant, saith R. Obadiah Gaon, that they may not be able to fly, or otherwise to help themselves; for in the loins and reins of a man lieth his strength, Deuteronomy 33:11. The Syriac hath it, Lumbi eorum sint curvi, viz. under their enemies' burdens. See Romans 11:10, bow down their backs.
