1He confirms that which he said in the former verse; namely, that all the wicked should be punished, to the end that howsoever the Lord was content to let them alone for a while to work their wills; yet should the faithful be well assured to behold the day of their vengeance, and that this should be as it were a preservative to let them from being carried away with the stream of the multitude. The Lord testifies here, that he so sees and notes their works, that it shall be manifested by the effects one day, that none could flee from the regard of his eyes.

- 1A confirmation of the former sentence.
Some take it as if the wicked were able to do nothing without Gods permission: which sentence is true in it self; but yet it suits not with this place. And every one may see it to be far fetched, and wide from the Prophets •eaning: for he only confirms that which he said before; to wit, that the hypocrites and notorious offenders, should be punished at the last; because God kept a register of all their imaginations, deliberations, and wicked actions. So as they should gain nothing in the end by their shifts; as if it were unpossible to bring them to judgement.
