Nehemiah 4:11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the middle among them, and slay them… I. In this serpentine, crafty, and malicious dealing of these wicked men appeareth THE OLD SERPENTINE NATURE AND MALICE OF SATAN. II. The next property of the serpent that appeareth in them is that THEY MERCILESSLY WOULD MURDER THEM WHEN THEY HAD ONCE THUS SUDDENLY INVADED THEM. III. The last property of Satan appeareth here in these wicked men, IN THAT THEY WOULD GLADLY OVERTHROW THIS BUILDING OF JERUSALEM, THAT IT SHOULD NEVER BE THOUGHT OF ANY MORE. (Bp. Pilkington.) Parallel Verses KJV: And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. |
