22. This verse, by the insertion of the words my people, is made to
bear the meaning which the translators thought best; but if their interpolated
word is omitted, we probably get nearer to the sense. The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring again from the depths of the sea. Though his foes
should endeavor to escape, they should not be able. As there is no resisting
Israel’s God, so there is no escape from him; neither the heights of Bashan nor
the depths of the great sea can shelter them from his eye of detection, and his
hand of justice. The powers of evil may flee to the ends of the earth, but the
Lord will arrest them, and lead them back in chains to adorn his triumph.
