And they shall no more be a prey to the Heathen, &c.] To the Papists, who shall now be perished out of the land, (<191016>Psalm 10:16): neither shall, the beasts of the land devour them; neither that beast which rose up out of the sea, nor that which came up out of the earth, (<661301>Revelation 13:1,11), the pope, both in his secular and ecclesiastic power, being destroyed. So the Targum, “and the kingdoms of the earth shall not consume them;” the antichristian kingdoms: but they, shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid; (See Gill on “<263425>Ezekiel 34:25”); (See Gill on “<263427>Ezekiel 34:27”).
