Verse 31
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way ,.... Their evil ways; be punished according to their deserts, and receive the just reward of their iniquities; see Isaiah 3:10 ;
and be filled with their own devices ; or "counsels" F7 ממועצתיהם "de consiliis suis", Pagninus, Montanus; "ex consiliis suis", Junius & Tremellius, &c.; : their device and counsel was to put Christ to death; to deliver him to the Roman governor, that he might be crucified, as he was: and they afterwards had their bellyful of crucifixion, as the word F8 ישבעו "saturabuntar", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, &c.; used signifies; such vast numbers of them were crucified by the Romans before the walls of the city, five hundred a day, and sometimes more; insomuch that room was needed for crosses, and crosses for bodies F9 Josephus de Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 11. s. 1. .
