EXPLANATION

Verse 7. Dove, which flies swiftly. He now adored the judgments of God, which chastised him, as he had threatened; (2 Kennicott. 12:11) though, while innocent, he had rejected a similar proposal. Psalms 10:1. The event shewed, that he acted wisely in retiring beyond the Jordan. Calmet.—O that I could fly, and in the simplicity of the dove, be removed from these afflictions! Worthington.—As I could not go to heaven, I retired into the wilderness. Menochius.
