| as he talked with him, &c.--Those who were invested with the prophetic character were entitled to counsel kings.

But victory had elated and blinded him. |

But what comes of it? It is a plain indication he is marked out for ruin. They that are deaf to reproof, are ripening apace for destruction. |
