For their Redeemer [is] mighty, etc.] As he must needs be, since the Lord of hosts is his name; who sympathizes with them, has mercy on them, is their father, and their friend; (see <245034>Jeremiah 50:34) (<281403>Hosea 14:3 <196805>Psalm 68:5); he shall plead their cause with thee; or “against thee”, as the Vulgate Latin version; and will certainly carry it for them, and against thee; for, when he undertakes a cause, he pleads it thoroughly.
