Vers. 6. Behold, it is written before me; I will not keepe silence, but will render it and recompence it into their bosome.
The Prophet alludes to the custom that is among Judges, who have lying by them upon record, the informations, testimonies, acts, and other pieces of evidences, that when need requires, the offender may be easily convicted: for we use to leave those things in writing, which we would have posterity to remember. The Lord then testifies that these things can never be forgotten, because they be written before him. For howsoever he winks at things for a time, yet shall not the wicked escape unpunished, but shall well perceive in the end that he is a just Judge.
