You make us to turn back from the enemy: and they who hate us take spoil for themselves.
Read Chapter 44
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
9. "Thou hast turned us away backward in presence of our enemies" (ver. 10), so that they are, as it were, before; we, behind; they are counted as conquerors, we as conquered. "And they which hate us spoiled for themselves." What did they "spoil" but ourselves?
