She forgot how fatal must be the end of her iniquity. Or, as the words following imply: She, in despair, cannot lift herself up to lay hold of God's promises as to her "latter end" [CALVIN]. wonderfully — Hebrew, "wonders," that is, with amazing dejection. O Lord, behold —Judah here breaks in, speaking for herself. for the enemy hath magnified himself —What might seem ground for despair, the elated insulting of the enemy, is rather ground for good hope.
