An evil, an only evil, ] viz., Without mixture of mercy, or that shall smite thee down at one only blow. as 1Sa 26:8 Nah 1:9 The Vulgate, after the Chaldee, rendereth it, An evil after an evil - q.d., Lighter and lesser judgments have done no good upon thee. Now I will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness. Rom 9:28 Ruinam praecedunt stillicidia. Drops precede disaster.
