Commentary

Rejoice not--at my fall. when I fall, I shall arise-- (Psa 37:24; Pro 24:16). when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light--Israel reasons as her divine representative, Messiah, reasoned by faith in His hour of darkness and desertion (Isa 50:7-8, Isa 50:10). Israel addresses Babylon, her triumphant foe (or Edom), as a female; the type of her last and worst foes (Psa 137:7-8). "Mine enemy," in Hebrew, is feminine.
