EXPLANATION

Verse 12. Off? God punishes and rewards. Worthington.—And wilt; or, “yet thou wilt not,” and so forth Bible.—Thou wilt not depend on our efforts for victory. Bellar. Menochius.—How can we expect to make such conquests, being in so forlorn a condition, when thou dost not lead forth our armies, as formerly? All that man can do is vain, but thou wilt look down upon us, and through God we shall do mightily, verse 14. Calmet.
