And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one afterwards swell with pride.

and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume any more.

And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.

And when the people hear about this, they shall be afraid, so that no one, from that time on, will swell with pride.

Atque omnes e populo audi ant, ut timeant, neque in posterurn superbiant.

And, assuredly, when He commands that the whole people should be inspired with terror, it is a hint that, unless presumption should be corrected, and the bold and wicked should be restrained by severe discipline, the door would be opened to them to destroy the Church.

And all the people shall hear, and fear,.... All the people of Israel in their own cities, and particularly the judges in those cities; they shall hear of what is done to the obstinate and disobedient elder, and shall be afraid to commit the like offence, lest they should come into the same punishment:

all the people shall hear, and fear.
(k) Misn. Sanhedrin, c. 10. sect. 4.

When thou shalt - He only foresees and foretells what they would do, but doth not approve of it. Yea when they did this thing for this very reason, he declares his utter dislike of it, 1-Samuel 8:7.
