The king watches his glory set and calls it "Time's turning" — but Time only reveals the ripened fruit of unrighteousness. It is telling that an army thought impassable even to the gods is breached by one resolved man: the stronghold of an unjust cause is never secure. The verse teaches that outward invincibility does not save when the foundation has rotted; glory grown on wrong crumbles day by day, however heavily it is fortified.
