Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

(3.) It shall make a full end: It shall consume their branches, and devour them, and lay all waste, and this because of their own counsels, that is, because they would have their own projects, which God therefore, in a way of righteous judgment, gave them up to. Note, The confusion of sinners is owing to their contrivance.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

abide--or, "fall upon" [CALVIN]. branches--that is, his villages, which are the branches or dependencies of the cities [CALVIN]. GROTIUS translates, "his bars" (so La 2:9), that is, the warriors who were the bulwarks of the state.
