9
Only don’t rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us. Don’t fear them.”

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 9. To eat, or consume them, as easily as we devour a piece of bread. The expression is proverbial. Psalms 13:4.—All aid. Hebrew “their shadow,” which is taken in the same sense. Septuagint “their time or opportunity is gone.” The Rabbins refer this to holy Job, who, they say, died at this time. A. Lapide.—He dwelt near the Jordan. Pineda in Job. Calmet. 1:1 and 27.
