5. Or —Else; the only alternative, if Israel's enemies wish to escape being "burnt together." strength —rather, "the refuge which I afford" [MAURER]. "Take hold," refers to the horns of the altar which fugitives often laid hold of as an asylum ( 1 Kings 1:50 ; 1 Kings 2:28 ). Jesus is God's "strength," or "refuge" which sinners must repair to and take hold of, if they are to have "peace" with God ( Isaiah 45:24 ; Romans 5:1 ; Ephesians 2:14 ; compare Ephesians 2:14- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
