Yechezkel 38:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 38:3

&c.] A man deprived of wisdom has need of counsel, and it should be given him; and he does well both to ask and take it; and be it so, as if Job should say, that I am the foolish and unwise creature you take me to be, what counsel and advice have you given me? what a wise counsellor have you shown yourself to be? or rather, what a miserable part have you acted under this character?

and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

5 Paras, Kush, and Put with them; all of them with mogen and kova (helmet);
