“He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.”
He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth—the characterization of the Babylonian king as one who wielded power with cruelty and anger, yet now finds himself persecuted and helpless. The contrast between former omnipotence and present persecution establishes the reversal of power. This verse emphasizes the poetic justice of the judgment.
