Ver. 11. I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one] Of Merodach Baladan, who of Governour, had made himſelf King of Babylon; Metaſhenes, Joſephus, lib. 1. c. 2. and in the twelfth year of his raign, having overcome Eſarhaddon ſon to Sennacherib and laſt Monarch of Aſſyria, he adjoyned that whole Empire to the Babylonians; and reigned after that forty years.

He ſhall ſurely deal with him] Heb. In doing he ſhall do unto him, Pro ſibitu tractabo. Piſcat. i. e. he ſhall do what his liſt with him: as Tamerlan ſince did with Bajazet: whom he carried about in an iron cage, uſing him on feſtival dayes for a footſtool; and feeding him like a dog with crumbes fallen from his table. All which Tamerlan did,Turk Hiſt. 220. not ſo much for hatred to the man (ſaith the Hiſtoriographer) as to manifeſt the juſt judgement of God againſt the arrogant folly of the proud.
