Reformed Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall be put to shame and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish." — Isaiah 41:11 (ASV)

Behold, all they that were incensed against you
For rejecting their idols, and idol worship; for receiving the Gospel, and professing it: shall be ashamed and confounded ;
their idols not being able to help them, nor they to defend the worship of them: the same is said with respect to Christ, (Isaiah 45:24) : they shall be as nothing, and they that strive with you shall perish ;
or, "the men of your strife" F15 ; all shall come to nothing, and utterly perish, as to their persons, substance, power, and dignity; as did the Roman emperors, the persecutors of God's people.
