Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. likewise-or, "so," "also," as you have done to others God will do to you (Ps 18:27). The following terms describe the most entire ruin.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

52:1-5 Those that glory in sin, glory in their shame. The patience and forbearance of God are abused by sinners, to the hardening of their hearts in their wicked ways. But the enemies in vain boast in their mischief, while we have God's mercy to trust in. It will not save us from the guilt of lying, to be able to say, there was some truth in what we said, if we make it appear otherwise than it was. The more there is of craft and contrivance in any wickedness, the more there is of Satan in it. When good men die, they are transplanted from the land of the living on earth, to heaven, the garden of the Lord, where they shall take root for ever; but when wicked men die, they are rooted out, to perish for ever. The believer sees that God will destroy those who make not him their strength.


Psalm 27:13 I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
Proverbs 2:22 But the wicked will be cut off from the land And the treacherous will be uprooted from it.
Isaiah 22:18 And roll you tightly like a ball, To be cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master's house.'
Isaiah 22:19 "I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station. (NASB ©1995)
