Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts, etc.] Or, O “pride”, or O “man of pride”f994; intolerably proud, superlatively so, as the kings of Babylon were, as Nebuchadnezzar, and Belshazzar likewise, the present king; so the Targum interprets it of a king, “behold, I send my fury against thee, O wicked king;” and is applicable enough to the man of sin, that monster of pride, that exalts himself above all that is called God, or is worshipped, (<530204>2 Thessalonians 2:4); and therefore it is no wonder that the Lord is against him, who resists all that are proud; and woe to him and them that he is against: for the day is come, the time [that] I will visit thee; in a way of vindictive wrath and justice, for pride and other this; (see <245027>Jeremiah 50:27).
