A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
is transformed--rather, "transforms himself" (compare Job 1:6); habitually; the first occasion of his doing so was in tempting Eve. "Himself" is emphatical: If their master himself, who is the "prince of darkness," the most alien to light, does so, it is less marvellous in the case of them who are his servants (Luk 22:54; Eph 6:12).

12 For [3754] we [2254] wrestle [3823] not [3756] against [2076] [4314] flesh [4561] and [2532] blood [129], but [235] against [4314] principalities [746], against [4314] powers [1849], against [4314] the rulers [2888] of the darkness [4655] of this [5127] world [165], against [4314] spiritual [4152] wickedness [4189] in [1722] high [2032] places.
54 Then [1161] took they [4815] him [846], and led [71] him, and [2532] brought [1521] him [846] into [1519] the high priest's [749] house [3624]. And [1161] Peter [4074] followed [190] afar off [3113].
6 Now there was a day [03117] when the sons [01121] of God [0430] came [0935] to present [03320] themselves before the LORD [03068], and Satan [07854] came [0935] also among [08432] them.
1 Now the serpent [05175] was [01961] more subtil [06175] than any beast [02416] of the field [07704] which the LORD [03068] God [0430] had made [06213]. And he said [0559] unto the woman [0802], Yea [0637], hath God [0430] said [0559], Ye shall not eat [0398] of every tree [06086] of the garden [01588]?
2 And the woman [0802] said [0559] unto the serpent [05175], We may eat [0398] of the fruit [06529] of the trees [06086] of the garden [01588]:
3 But of the fruit [06529] of the tree [06086] which is in the midst [08432] of the garden [01588], God [0430] hath said [0559], Ye shall not eat [0398] of it, neither shall ye touch [05060] it, lest [06435] ye die [04191].
4 And the serpent [05175] said [0559] unto the woman [0802], Ye shall not surely [04191] die [04191]:
5 For God [0430] doth know [03045] that in the day [03117] ye eat [0398] thereof, then your eyes [05869] shall be opened [06491], and ye shall be as gods [0430], knowing [03045] good [02896] and evil [07451].
6 And when the woman [0802] saw [07200] that the tree [06086] was good [02896] for food [03978], and that it [01931] was pleasant [08378] to the eyes [05869], and a tree [06086] to be desired [02530] to make one wise [07919], she took [03947] of the fruit thereof [06529], and did eat [0398], and gave [05414] also [01571] unto her husband [0376] with her; and he did eat [0398].
15 Therefore [3767] it is no [3756] great thing [3173] if [1499] his [846] ministers [1249] also [1499] be transformed [3345] as [5613] the ministers [1249] of righteousness [1343]; whose [3739] end [5056] shall be [2071] according [2596] to their [846] works [2041].
2 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Satan [07854], The LORD [03068] rebuke [01605] thee, O Satan [07854]; even the LORD [03068] that hath chosen [0977] Jerusalem [03389] rebuke [01605] thee: is not this a brand [0181] plucked [05337] out of the fire [0784]?
1 And he shewed [07200] me Joshua [03091] the high [01419] priest [03548] standing [05975] before [06440] the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068], and Satan [07854] standing [05975] at his right hand [03225] to resist [07853] him.
6 Now there was a day [03117] when the sons [01121] of God [0430] came [0935] to present [03320] themselves before the LORD [03068], and Satan [07854] came [0935] also among [08432] them.
5 Be thou exalted [07311], O God [0430], above the heavens [08064]: and thy glory [03519] above all the earth [0776];
1 A Song [07892] or Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. O God [0430], my heart [03820] is fixed [03559]; I will sing [07891] and give praise [02167], even with my glory [03519].
2 Awake [05782], psaltery [05035] and harp [03658]: I myself will awake [05782] early [07837].
3 I will praise [03034] thee, O LORD [03068], among the people [05971]: and I will sing praises [02167] unto thee among the nations [03816].
4 For thy mercy [02617] is great [01419] above the heavens [08064]: and thy truth [0571] reacheth unto the clouds [07834].
5 Be thou exalted [07311], O God [0430], above the heavens [08064]: and thy glory [03519] above all the earth [0776];
6 That thy beloved [03039] may be delivered [02502]: save [03467] with thy right hand [03225], and answer [06030] me.
7 God [0430] hath spoken [01696] in his holiness [06944]; I will rejoice [05937], I will divide [02505] Shechem [07927], and mete out [04058] the valley [06010] of Succoth [05523].
8 Gilead [01568] is mine; Manasseh [04519] is mine; Ephraim [0669] also is the strength [04581] of mine head [07218]; Judah [03063] is my lawgiver [02710];
9 Moab [04124] is my washpot [07366] [05518]; over Edom [0123] will I cast out [07993] my shoe [05275]; over Philistia [06429] will I triumph [07321].
10 Who will bring [02986] me into the strong [04013] city [05892]? who will lead [05148] me into Edom [0123]?
11 Wilt not thou, O God [0430], who hast cast us off [02186]? and wilt not thou, O God [0430], go forth [03318] with our hosts [06635]?
12 Give [03051] us help [05833] from trouble [06862]: for vain [07723] is the help [08668] of man [0120].
13 Through God [0430] we shall do [06213] valiantly [02428]: for he it is that shall tread down [0947] our enemies [06862].
1 On that day [03117] did the king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] give [05414] the house [01004] of Haman [02001] the Jews [03064]' enemy [06887] unto Esther [0635] the queen [04436]. And Mordecai [04782] came [0935] before [06440] the king [04428]; for Esther [0635] had told [05046] what he was unto her.
4 For we are sold [04376], I and my people [05971], to be destroyed [08045], to be slain [02026], and to perish [06]. But if [0432] we had been sold [04376] for bondmen [05650] and bondwomen [08198], I had held my tongue [02790], although the enemy [06862] could not countervail [07737] the king's [04428] damage [05143].
1 And Satan [07854] stood up [05975] against Israel [03478], and provoked [05496] David [01732] to number [04487] Israel [03478].
18 And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], I beheld [2334] Satan [4567] as [5613] lightning [796] fall [4098] from [1537] heaven [3772].
3 But [1161] I fear [5399], lest [3381] by any means [4458], as [5613] the serpent [3789] beguiled [1818] Eve [2096] through [1722] his [846] subtilty [3834], so [3779] your [5216] minds [3540] should be corrupted [5351] from [575] the simplicity [572] that is in [1519] Christ [5547].
