he shall come up like a lion, &c.] The Edomites shall come in fiercely upon my people, like the swellings of Jordan; Joshua 3:15. 1 Chron. 12. 15. but they shall be driven back again, Isaiah 59:19. Or, Nebuchadnezzar, like a lion, Chap. 4. 7. from the fertile soil that Jordan watereth, Zechariah 11:3. having first subdued those parts; or, more violently then the risings of Jordan; Chap. 12. 5. &51. 42.

Compare Chap. 50. 44. from the swelling of Jordan] Or, more violently then the swelling, as Isaiah 2:6. Or, from the rich soil (Heb. excellencie. Isaiah 2:10. Or, pride.

I will suddenly make him run away from her] Or, overrunne her. or, runne upon her. as Isaiah 23:7. who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her] Or, what choice souldiers are there (as Revelation 17:14.) that I may muster against her? Or, one that is a choice man, or, whom I have made chioce of, (to wit, Nebuchadnezzar) will I appoint (and set on work, to fight) against her. who will appoint me the time] Or, convent me in judgement. or, challenge me. Job 41:10. who is that shepherd] Prince, or Potentate. Chap. 6. 3. &12. 10. Isaiah 31:4. but alluding to a shepherd, whose flock the lion hath made some spoile of, Isaiah 31:4. Joe 2:11. Micah 5:8. that will stand before me] Or, can stand before me. Psalms 76:7. Nahum 1:7. So Proverbs 27:4.
