Ezekiel30:24

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaohs arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

Give the first strength, and continue it with new supplys, so that with strength from God, he shall proceed.

His strength shall have a weapon suited, and proportion'd to it, and what will be hard, where God's Sword and his strength are engaged to effect it?

Hophra.

Not only, as the stoutest must, when nature breaks, but cry out, and sigh, or howl not becoming a brave man.

King of Babylon.

Who hath given him his deadly wound, under which he roars, while he hath any strength, and groans, when his voice sails him. It speaks sore griefs, and deep sense of them; as Exod. 2.24. Iudg. 2.18. Iob 24.12.
