Therefore] Or, Notwithstanding. as the word is used, Isaiah 30:18. Chap. 16. 14. Otherwise this verse must depend upon that which was spoken, vers. 10. & 11. and the words between must all go as included in a parenthesis.
all they that devoure thee shall be devoured] Though God correct his sometime somewhat severely for their manifold sinnes and excesses: yet when they are humbled for them, and amended by his chastisements, he will burn the rods, wherewith he chastised them. Isa. 10. 5-12. & 33. 1. Exodus 23:22. Isaiah 41:11.
they that spoil thee] Heb. tread on thee.
shall be a spoil] Heb. treading. Isaiah 42:22.
