Ere that they shall perceive or Before men shall understand He speaketh to the wicked of their suddain destruction The meaning seemeth to be this Ere men shall perceive or seel the pricking of your thorns which are thorns of the Bramble God will as with a whirlwind destroy every of them The Bramble or briar mentioned also in Jorhams parable Iudg. 9.14.15 hath strong and sharp thorns fit to resemble the evil counsels and deeds of the wicked The Hebrue Sir is used both for a thorn and a pot wherefore some here translate pots yet yeilding the same sense The Greek turneth it thorns as alive or even quick which noteth subdain destruction as Psal 55.16 let them goe down to hel alive or their lively vigour which made them fear no destruction as Psal 38.20 my enemies are alive are mighty This word is somtime used for raw flesh 1 Sam. 2.15 which some that translate the former word pots retain also here even in wrath or as with burning-anger We may also understand the word thorn thus aswell the living thorn that is fresh and green as the thorn of burning that is the burnt or sear thorn because on the bramble some of the thorns are parched and dry when others are young and green he will tempestuously whirl it away God will take away or skare away it that is every thorn as with a whirlwind or tempest For as with a whirlwind that passeth the wicked is no more Prov. 10.25 Vers 11. his feet in bloud This noteth both the greatnes of the slaughter and comfortable use which the just shall make hereof Compare Psal 68.24 Isa 63.3 Rev. 14.20 Vers 12. earthly-man Hebr.
