EXPLANATION

Verse 15. Shall be like this destruction. That is, the beasts shall be destroyed as well as the men; the common soldiers as well as their leaders. Challoner.—History does not specify the death of cattle, ( Calmet.) though in plagues this would inevitably follow; and the pagans complained that they were become more common since the propagation of the gospel. Bible.—The reverses which the troops of Dioclesian, and so forth sustained, were to punish their enmity to religion. Calmet.
