Wesley's Notes

64:8 Flee - Through fear of being involved in their destruction.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. their . tongue to fall, &c.-that is, the consequences of their slanders, &c. (compare Ps 10:2; 31:16).

all that see . away-Their partners in evil shall be terrified.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

64:7-10 When God brings upon men the mischiefs they have desired on others, it is weight enough to sink a man to the lowest hell. Those who love cursing, it shall come upon them. Those who behold this shall understand, and observe God's hand in all; unless we do so, we are not likely to profit by the dispensations of Providence. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord; not glad of the misery and ruin of their fellow-creatures, but glad that God is glorified, and his word fulfilled, and the cause of injured innocence pleaded effectually. They rejoice not in men, nor in themselves, nor in any creature, or creature enjoyments, nor in their wisdom, strength, riches, or righteousness; but in Christ, in whom all the seed of Israel are justified and glory, and in what he is to them, and has done for them.


Psalm 9:3 When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before You.
Psalm 22:7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
Psalm 44:14 You make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples.
Proverbs 12:13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will escape from trouble.
Proverbs 18:7 A fool's mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
Jeremiah 18:16 To make their land a desolation, An object of perpetual hissing; Everyone who passes by it will be astonished And shake his head.
Jeremiah 48:27 "Now was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Or was he caught among thieves? For each time you speak about him you shake your head in scorn.
Lamentations 2:15 All who pass along the way Clap their hands in derision at you; They hiss and shake their heads At the daughter of Jerusalem, "Is this the city of which they said, 'The perfection of beauty, A joy to all the earth '?" (NASB ©1995)
