ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. Waters: multitudes, (Revelation 17:15) and riches; ( Calmet.) or the flood bursting upon them makes them flee. Bible.—The citizens run away when the enemy had made a breach, as water does when the dam is broken down; and though some more valiant will exhort them to tarry, they will not succeed, nor save the city. Worthington.
