Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own
way
Their evil ways; be punished according to their deserts, and
receive the just reward of their iniquities; see ( Isaiah 3:10 Isaiah 3:11 ) ;
and be filled with their own devices;
or "counsels" F7: their device and counsel was to put
Christ to death; to deliver him to the Roman governor, that he
might be crucified, as he was: and they afterwards had their
bellyful of crucifixion, as the word F8 used signifies; such
vast numbers of them were crucified by the Romans before the
walls of the city, five hundred a day, and sometimes more;
insomuch that room was needed for crosses, and crosses for bodies
F9.
