Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
do good . . . evil—give any proof at all of your power, either to reward your friends or punish your enemies (Psalms 115:2-8).
that we may be dismayed, and behold it together—MAURER translates, "That we (Jehovah and the idols) may look one another in the face (that is, encounter one another, II Kings 14:8, II Kings 14:11), and see" our respective powers by a trial. HORSLEY translates, "Then the moment we behold, we shall be dismayed." "We" thus, and in English Version, refers to Jehovah and His worshippers.
