Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow - One might conjecture that the following thought in the Toozek i Teemour was borrowed from this: -
"One addressed the caliph Aaly, and said, ' If the heavens were a bow, and the earth the cord thereof; if calamities were arrows, man the butt for those arrows; and the holy blessed God the unerring marksman; where could the sons of Adam flee for succor?' The caliph replied, ' The children of Adam must flee unto the Lord.' " This was the state of poor Jerusalem. It seemed as a butt for all God' s arrows; and each arrow of calamity entered into the soul, for God was the unerring marksman.
