Verse 18. They are but exalted, as the shellfish by the eagle, according to the naturalist, to be thrown down on some rock and devoured. Their most glorious prosperity is but like a rainbow, which showeth itself for a little time in all its gaudy colours, and then vanisheth.

Verse 18,20. Their banqueting house is very slippery, and the feast itself a mere dream. Thomas Adams.
