Geneva Study Bible

Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one {a} submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.

(a) He desires that the pride of the mighty may be destroyed, who were accustomed to garnishing their shoes with silver, and therefore for their glittering pomp thought themselves above all men.

Wesley's Notes

68:30 Rebuke - Chastise those that will not bring presents to thee. The bulls - The fierce and furious adversaries of God, and of his church; the calves, are people or soldiers depending upon them. Delight - That merely out of a love to mischief and spoil, make war upon others, and upon us particularly.

King James Translators' Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

30. The strongest nations are represented by the strongest beasts (compare Margin).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

68:29-31 A powerful invitation is given to those that are without, to join the church. Some shall submit from fear; overcome by their consciences, and the checks of Providence, they are brought to make peace with the church. Others will submit willingly, ver. 29,31. There is that beauty and benefit in the service of God, and in the gospel of Christ which went forth from Jerusalem, which is enough to invite sinners out of all nations.
