Verses 1-2
1, 2. The righteous perisheth Under ministrations above described. Moral starvation stares them in their faces. Honest seekers after truth come to disappointment.
Merciful men Men who, amid general discoloration of morals and manners, strive for reformation, find their efforts unavailing. And they pass away are taken from the evil to come Spared from witnessing even worse things.
He shall enter Rather, He entereth. That is, pious men as a class.
They… rest in their beds Their quiet is to be found in their graves. Every one that walks “in his uprightness” goes to the grave in peace, with conscious sincerity in seeking, but with failure in finding, the path he desired. This under the influence of false teachers. Nevertheless God receives them, for (Isaiah 26:19) “Thy dead… shall live again.”
