This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
his secret - namely, His purpose hidden from all, until it is revealed to His prophets (compare Gen 18:17). In a wider sense, God’s will is revealed to all who love God, which it is not to the world (Psa 25:14; Joh 15:15; Joh 17:25, Joh 17:26).
unto his servants - who being servants cannot but obey their Lord in setting forth His purpose (namely, that of judgment against Israel) (Jer 20:9; Eze 9:11). Therefore the fault which the ungodly find with them is groundless (1Ki 18:17). It aggravates Israel’s sin, that God is not about to inflict judgment, without having fully warned the people, if haply they might repent.
