Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

Hath he smitten him, (Israel) as he smote those (enemies) that smote him? - Has God punished His people as severly as He has those enemies whom He employed to chastise Israel? No! far from it. Israel, after trials, He will restore; Israel's enemies He will utterly destroy at last.

(Or) is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? - rather, 'Is Israel slain according to the slaughter of the enemy's slain?'-the slaughter wherewith the enemy is slain.
