1Secondly, Another understands this 20•h verse as a reason of the former; the righteous are glad (when the wicked fall) the innocent shall laugh them to scorn, because our substance was not cut down; as if he had said, our safety will be matter as of praise to God, who hath preserved us, so of holy scorn and insultation over ungodly men, who longed to see our destruction, and said in their hearts, that surely our day was not only coming, but hastening; whereas indeed we see the day come upon them which burneth as an oven, and themselves as stubble. Wicked men are for the most part doubly disappointed; first, by their own fall, when they looked to stand; secondly, by the standing of the righteous when they look, yea, and long for their fall; This double disappointment doth at once double their sorrow, and the joy of the Innocent, who laugh them to scorn, because their own substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
1Secondly, Another understands this 20•h verse as a reason of the former; the righteous are glad (when the wicked fall) the innocent shall laugh them to scorne, because our substance was not cut downe; as if he had sayd, our safety will be matter as of praise to God, who hath preserved us, so of holy scorne and insultation over ungodly men, who longed to see our destruction, and sayd in their hearts, that surely our day was not onely comming, but hastning; whereas indeed we see the day come upon them which burneth as an oven, and themselves as stubble. Wicked men are for the most part doubly disappointed; first, by their owne fall, when they looked to stand; secondly, by the standing of the righteous when they looke, yea, and long for their fall; This double disappointment doth at once double their sorrow, and the joy of the Innocent, who laugh them to scorne, because their owne substance is not cut downe, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
