Numbers 22:23

Numbers 22:32

Isaiah 56:11

     11. greedy—literally, "strong" (that is, insatiable) in appetite (Eze 34:2, 3; Mic 3:11).

      cannot understand—unable to comprehend the wants of the people, spiritually: so Isa 56:10, "cannot bark."

      look to . . . own way—that is, their own selfish interests; not to the spiritual welfare of the people (Jer 6:13; Eze 22:27).

      from his quarter—rather, "from the highest to the lowest" [LOWTH]. "From his quarter"; that is, from one end to the other of them, one and all (Ge 19:4).
