On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The Jews have a proverb, Woe to the wicked man, and woe to his neighbour, who is in danger of partaking in his sins and in his plagues. Woe to the land of Hadrach, and woe to Hamath that borders thereby. Tyre and Zidon come next to be called to an account here, as in other prophecies,
