Vers. 11, 12. As Israel would grow strong through God"s help, so her enemies would grow weak through God"s disfavour. That enemies of all kinds may be seen to be included, the designation is four times varied that are angry with thee;" "that are at strife with thee;" "that are in conflict with thee;" "that are at war with thee." The order is one of climax. Similarly, with each augmentation of the hostility there is an augmentation of the sentence of punishment be covered with shame;" "shall perish;" "shall not be found;" "shall become as nothingness."
