Psalms33:17
17. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
Though he be strong, Iob 39. 19. &c. and fit for Battel, Prov. 21. 31. Or, for flight, if need requires. And so this is put for all Warlike provisions; of which Horses were, and are a very Considerable part.
Heb. a Lye; because it promiseth, that help and safety, which it cannot give.
