Isaiah3:2
Ver. 2. The mighty man and the man of War] Such as were Davids Mighties, Hannibal, Fabius Maximus (of whom the Poet, Hic patria eſt, muri que urbis ſtant pectore in uno) Scipio Africanus, of whoſe death when Metellus heard, he run out into the publick Forum, and cryed out, Concurrite cives, urbis veſtrae maenia corruerunt. Come forth, and conſult what is to be done, for your City is undone.
The Judge and the Prophet] When God gathereth ſuch by cluſters as it were, ſome evil is at hand: as when men pull up their hedges and fences, it is open-tide.
And the prudent] Heb. the Diviner: ſuch as have their eyes on their head, Eccl. 2.14. their hearts at their right hands, Eccleſ. 10.20. that judiciouſly pondering things paſt, can prudently order things preſent, and providently foreſee to prevent dangers likely to enſue.
And the ancient] With whom is Wiſdom and Counſel, Job 32.4.6, 7.
