Again, the word is rendered by others as signifying the evil of punishment in this part of the verse, and not the evil of sin; Is not thy affliction great, therefore thy iniquity is infinite. 1The Greek word (Matth. 6.34.) answers this, Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof, that is, the trouble, and the sorrow of it: (Amos 3.6.) Is there any evil in the City which the Lord hath not done? So here, Is not thy evil great, thy evil of punishment? therefore thy iniquity is infinite. But I rather fix it upon the ⟨p. 36⟩former: though the word sometimes signifies the evil of affliction, yet here I shall take it for the evil of sin, or as we translate, wickedness, which denotes not ordinary but great sin; for though every wicked man be a sinner, yet every sinner is not properly a wicked man.
