And they shall be as mighty [men],.... That is, the converted Jews shall be such; they shall be strong in faith, giving glory to the Messiah; they shall be strong in the grace that is in him; they shall be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; his strength shall be made perfect in their weakness:which tread down [their enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle; being victorious over sin, Satan, and the world, through Christ, in whom they will believe:and they shall fight; against all their inward and outward enemies, the good fight of faith, with great valour and courage:because the Lord [is] with them; who is the Lord of hosts or armies; his presence gives boldness and intrepidity; for, if he is for them, who can be against them?
