Return to Index | Henry's Commentary |
Chapter 58 | |
1 | Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? |
2 | Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. |
3 | The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. |
4 | Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; |
5 | Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. |
6 | Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. |
7 | Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. |
8 | As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. |
9 | Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. |
10 | The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. |
11 | So that a man shall say, Verily there is a 1reward for the
righteous: verily he is a God that 2judgeth in the earth.
