God's judgments against the enemies of the church13. The consternation of sinners, and privileges of the godly (18) Thine heart shall meditate terror--i.e., shall recall the memory of the past evil days, as a dream that had passed away, leaving behind it the thankful joy which rises out of such recollections. Where is the scribe?--Then, in those times of panic, each Assyrian official was an object of dread. There was the "scribe," who fixed the amount of tribute to be paid by each village or landowner; the "receiver" (literally, weigher), who weighed the gold and silver as it was brought in for payment; the "counter of towers," who formed his plans for the operation of the "siege." In Psalm 48:13 the same phrase is used of those who defend the city. Verse 18. - Thine heart shall meditate terror; i.e. "thou shalt look back upon the past time of terror, the dreadful period of the siege, and contrast it with thy present happiness." Mr. Cheyne quotes as an illustration, appositely enough, Virgil's "Et haec olim meminisse juvabit." Where is the scribe... the receiver?.... he that counted the towers? Where now are the Assyrian officials - the scribe, who registered the amount of the tribute and booty ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. 1. p. 476); the receiver, who weighed the gold and silver carefully in a balance (Layard, 'Nineveh and its Remains,' vol. 2. p. 377); and the engineer officer who surveyed the place to be besieged, estimated its strength, and counted its towers? All have perished or have fled away in dismay.Parallel Commentaries ...
