Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, &c.] Or, “magnified against me”f597; spoke great swelling words of vanity, or had a mouth opened to speak great things and blasphemy against God, as antichrist is said to do, (<661305>Revelation 13:5,6), what is spoken against the Lord’s people is taken by him as spoken against himself: and have multiplied your words against me; not in prayer, by deprecations or supplications, as the wordf598 used sometimes signifies; but in reproaches and calumnies, vilifying expressions and hard speeches, against his people, in great numbers; which is all one as if they were directed against him: I have heard them; these the Lord takes notice of, and will call to an account for, either here or hereafter; (see <650115>Jude 1:15).
