Vers. 21. Thou hast destroyed the proud: cursed are they that doe erre from thy commaundements.
The Prophet doth not let pass Gods judgements without profit, but meditateth upon them, that thereby he may be kept in greater obedience: because the Lord hath in former times executed his judgements, he will show himself righteous still: and therefore the Prophet gathereth, that though the wicked be not all presently punished, yet they are all accursed, and in time they shall be punished. By erring he meaneth not every slip, but the falling away from God.
