Verse 5
5. Such as turn aside Incline to crooked ways. See introduction to the psalm, Haggai 1:0, and Zechariah 1:1-6. In all ages there have been superficial and unstable professors of the true religion, ready to give up their faith at sight of persecution. See Matthew 13:20-21; Malachi 3:8-15.
Crooked ways The paths of an apostate, ever devious through a worldly policy, and opposed to integrity, uprightness, fidelity. See Matthew 7:14; Jeremiah 6:16; Jeremiah 18:15.
The Lord shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity God shall classify these false professors with the openly wicked and abandoned, and treat them as such in the judgment. The leading forth is judicial the bringing them to trial and execution.
But peace shall be upon Israel Can language make it more plain, that false profession is irreligion, and that the outcome of the lives of the true and false Israelites shall be finally and totally different?
Be the first to react on this!
