There is yet another reading and exposition of this latter part of the verse, taking the word rendered wicked, not for persons,1 but for things, and then 'tis read in the Neuter gender, The light takes hold of the ends of the earth, to shake wicked or evil things (that is, those things which are noxious to the earth) out of it. The heat of the Sun rising upon the earth, exhales and draws out hurtful vapours from the earth, which, abiding in the bowels of it, would hinder its fruit-bearing, or make it barren. This sense is prosecuted all along by some Interpreters, quite through the 14th and 15th verses, but I shall not stay upon it.
