Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - His strength shall be hunger-bitten. (So Dillmann, Cook, and the Revised Version.) To the other sufferings of the wicked man shall be added the pangs of hunger. His bodily strength shall disappear, as destitution and famine come upon him. And destruction shall be ready at his side. Ready to seize on him at any moment. Some translate, "ready for his halting" i.e. ready to seize on him in ease of his tripping or halting (so the Revised Version).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) His strength.--By "strength" some understand his firstborn son, as Genesis 49:3, but it is not necessary to take it otherwise than literally.Destruction shall be ready at his side.--Or, according to some, for his halting; shall lie in wait for his tripping in order to overthrow him.
