1319. Verse 7. Come, let us go down, and there confound their lip, that they hear not a man the lip of his fellow. “Come, let us go down,” signifies that a judgment was thus effected; “and there confound their lip,” signifies that not anyone has the truth of doctrine; “that they hear not a man the lip of his fellow,” signifies that all are at variance with one another.
