Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

See the introduction to Proverbs. According to the different reading, there noted, the inscription ends with: “the man spake,” and the words that follow, are the beginning of the confession, “I have wearied myself after God and have fainted.” Spake - The Hebrew word is that commonly used of the utterance of a divine oracle.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

The word calls him God with us; faith appropriates this, and calls him " God with me, who loved me, and gave himself for me, and into union and communion with whom I am admitted." Ucal signifies the Mighty One, for it is upon one that is mighty that help is laid for us. Many good interpreters therefore apply this to the Messiah, for to him all the prophecies bear witness, and why not this then?

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

This is the title of this chapter (see Introduction). the prophecy--literally, "the burden" (compare Isa 13:1; Zec 9:1), used for any divine instruction; not necessarily a prediction, which was only a kind of prophecy (1Ch 15:27, "a song").
