And I will set my face against you, etc.] Exert his power, and stir up his wrath and indignation against them, as enemies of his, to cut them off; (see <193416>Psalm 34:16); which is the reverse of having respect to them, (<032609>Leviticus 26:9); and ye shall be slain before your enemies; as they were sometimes by the Philistines and others: and they that hate you shall reign over you; as did the Chaldeans and Babylonians; (see <19A641>Psalm 106:41); and ye shall flee when none pursueth you; of such pusillanimous spirits should they be, and filled with such dread and terror of their enemies, so contrary from what is promised them on their obedience, (<032608>Leviticus 26:8).
