Clarke's Commentary on the BibleTurn their reproach upon their own head - A prayer of this kind, understood literally, is not lawful for any Christian. Jesus, our great master, has said, "Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; and pray for them that despitefully use you." Such sayings as the above are excusable in the mouth of a Jew, under severe irritation. See the next verse, Nehemiah 4:5 (note). Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Hear Psalm 123:3,4 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt... despised. Heb. despite. turn 1 Samuel 17:26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that kills this Philistine... Psalm 79:12 And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord. Proverbs 3:34 Surely he scorns the scorners: but he gives grace to the lowly. Hosea 12:14 Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood on him, and his reproach shall his LORD return to him. Nehemiah 4:4 Parallel Commentaries
