John Trapp on Isaiah 33:1

CHAP. XXXIII.

Ver. 1. VVOe to thee that ſpoileſt] Minatur vaſtationem vaſtatori Sennacherib, vel Antichriſto, quem praeſignat; Oecol. Sennacherib and Antichriſt are here threatned.

And thou waſt not ſpoiled] Thou abuſeſt thy preſent peace, and the riches of Gods goodneſs and patience toward thee, to fall foule upon others unprovoked.

And dealeſt treacherouſly] This, ſome underſtand of Sennacherib, Oecol. See 2 King. 18.14, 17. others of Shebna and other Traitours in Jeruſalem, who dealt underhand with the enemy againſt Hezekiah, and might haply meet with the like meed, as he did who betrayed the Rhodes to the Turkes, who fleaed him and ſalted him: Or at leaſt as Charles the fourths Agents did from Philip Duke of Auſtria, who paid them the ſumme he promiſed them, but in counterfeit money, ſaying that falſe coyn is good enough for ſuch falſe knaves as they had ſhewed themſelves.

Thou ſhalt be ſpoiled] Of Kingdome, and life, and all, by thy treacherous ſons, Chap. 37, 38.

Siquis quod fecit patitur, juſtiſſima lex eſt.

See Judg. 7.11. with the Note, and fear thou God, who loveth to retaliate, to pay wicked men home in their own coyn, to fill them with their own wayes, to overſhoot them in their own bow, &c. Vae ergo vaſtatoribus: one time or other God will be even with ſuch.
