27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt be] {n} any more.
(n) By which is meant a long time: for it was prophesied to be destroyed but seventy years, Isa 23:15.
27:36 Shall hiss - Will mock at thy fall.
27:26-36 The most mighty and magnificent kingdoms and states, sooner or later, come down. Those who make creatures their confidence, and rest their hopes upon them, will fall with them: happy are those who have the God of Jacob for their Help, and whose hope is in the Lord their God, who lives for ever. Those who engage in trade should learn to conduct their business according to God's word. Those who possess wealth should remember they are the Lord's stewards, and should use his goods in doing good to all. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
