Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
1. A denunciation of judgement against the wicked. 2. A promise of mercy and safety to the righteous.
The former is set down from the beginning of the Chapter to the 10th verse.
The later from thence to the end of the Chapter.
In laying down the promise, the Prophet taketh his rise from the highest, sa• and surest ground of all comfort: namely the promised Messiah, ver. 14. Concerning whom he declareth what should be the events that would fall out at his coming: and that both in regard of the wicked and of the righteous. The wicked should stumble and fall to their utter destruction. The righteous should be established for ever, v. 14, 15.
