Psalms 70:3

Psa 70:3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Ver. 3. Let them be turned back for a reward ] Vel sicut per insidias vel supplantationem, more athletarum, a עקב , Let them be supplanted, defeated.

That say, Aha, aha ] Augustine rendereth it, Euge, Euge, that is, Well done; and giveth this note upon it, Plus persequitur lingua adulatoris quam manus interfectoris, The tongue of a flatterer may mischief a man more than the hand of a murderer. The apostle, Hebrews 11:37 , ranketh their tempting and flattering promises among their bloody deeds, their rising tongues with their terrifying jaws.
