He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to the kings of the earth.
Ver. 12. He shall cut off the spirit of princes] Vindemiabit, he shall slip them off as one would do a bunch of grapes, or a flower between one's fingers; easily, suddenly, as he dealt by Sennacherib's princes, Auferet de vita, ut de vite botros.
He is terrible to kings] Enemies to his Church, as most kings are.
