ExplanationCommentary
Verse 24. Changeth. Hebrew “taketh away the heart,” or prudence “of princes.” Hence they follow the most absurd counsels. Isaiah 29:19. Calmet.—No way. This was the case of Pharao, when he pursued the Israelites into the sea; ( Tirinus.) and the like may rationally be feared by those princes, who attempt to make innovations in the true religion, or in the sound laws of a kingdom. Menochius.
