thus will I do unto thee] Namely, as thy sinnes deserve, or as I have foretold thee, vers. 2. 3. because I will do this unto thee] Since I denounce warre against thee, as against my rebels and enemies, prepare thy self to do the best thou canst to beat me off, and keep me back: or to prevent and pacifie me by true repentance. See Ezekiel 13:5. &Ezekiel 22:30. Luke 14:31-32.
