(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
hasty - rather, “Be not terror-struck so as to go out of His sight.” Slavishly “terror-struck” is characteristic of the sinner’s feeling toward God; he vainly tries to flee out of His sight (Psa 139:7); opposed to the “shining face” of filial confidence (Ecc 8:1; Joh 8:33-36; Rom 8:2; 1Jo 4:18).
stand not - persist not.
for he doeth - God inflicts what punishment He pleases on persisting sinners (Job 23:13; Psa 115:3). True of none save God.
