the way of man is not in himself] Though the Chaldeans be never so powerfull and cruell, yet it is not in their power to do what they list, but what thou givest way to; Proverbs 16:9. & Proverbs 20:24. Lamentations 3:37. who canst restrain them at thy pleasure, and turn them which way thou wilt. Proverbs 21:1. Isaiah 37:29. Some take it, as an acknowledgement of Gods hand, in sending Nebuchadnezzar in upon them, when he was marching on another way. Ezekiel 21:21.
