Wesley's Notes

6:13 Who rejoice - In your victories, alliances, and idols. Have we not - We have raised ourselves to greatness by our wisdom and courage.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

13. rejoice in a thing of naught-that is, in your vain and fleeting riches.

Have we not taken to us horns-that is, acquired power, so as to conquer our neighbors (2Ki 14:25). Horns are the Hebrew symbol of power, being the instrument of strength in many animals (Ps 75:10).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

6:8-14 How dreadful, how miserable, is the case of those whose eternal ruin the Lord himself has sworn; for he can execute his purpose, and none can alter it! Those hearts are wretchedly hardened that will not be brought to mention God's name, and to worship him, when the hand of God is gone out against them, when sickness and death are in their families. Those that will not be tilled as fields, shall be abandoned as rocks. When our services of God are soured with sin, his providences will justly be made bitter to us. Men should take warning not to harden their hearts, for those who walk in pride, God will destroy.


Job 8:14 Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider's web.
Job 8:15 "He trusts in his house, but it does not stand; He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.
Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
Psalm 75:4 "I said to the boastful, 'Do not boast,' And to the wicked, 'Do not lift up the horn;
Psalm 75:5 Do not lift up your horn on high, Do not speak with insolent pride.'"
Isaiah 28:14 Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
Isaiah 28:15 Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."
Luke 12:19 And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'
Luke 12:20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' (NASB ©1995)
