Présentation de l'éditeur
The doing, or executing of judgment is joy to the just, but destruction to the workers of iniquity. The just, when judgment is done, have no cause to fear: it comes not upon them: only with their eyes they behold, and see the reward of the wicked; and they experience joy, when it is just judgment that is executed, inasmuch as it promotes the safety and the happiness of society. And the doing of judgment by the Judge of all, which is ever according to perfect rectitude, is joy to the just, as it brings glory to His name, and clears the moral universe of temptation and misery. But to the workers of iniquity, the execution of judgment is anything.but joy. Tt is destruction; and the thought and anticipation of it, whether from man or from God, can engender only distress and fear. And the day of final judgment, while it shall be a day of joy to the just, will be the day of complete and irremediable destruction to the wicked. Verse 16. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. While the preceding verse has reference to the workers of iniquity generally, and represents the execution of judgment as their destruction; this verse relates apparently to apostates from the right way the way of understanding; those who for a time have walked in that way, under a profession of religion, and have abandoned it. Such there have been in every age; and of such it is here said, they shall remain in the congregation of the dead. The word so rendered happens to be in some other places of the Old Testament translated giants with doubtful propriety, for in the first of its occurrences (G en. xiv. 5.) it is the name of a people, the Rephaim It is the same word that is translated giants in Deut. ii. 11, 20; Josh. xii. 4; xiii 12; Luther renders It is to the righteous a joy to do what is right; but to the wicked a terror.
