and to the wicked, lift not up the horn ; of power, grandeur, and wealth, and use it to the injury of others; or be so elated with it as to look with disdain on others; or imagine they shall always continue in this exalted state, as antichrist the horned beast does, Revelation 18:7 , the allusion is to horned beasts, particularly harts, which lift up their heads and horns in great pride F16 Vid.
