This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He notices the complaint of the Jews that it is of no profit to serve Jehovah, for that the ungodly proud are happy; and declares He will soon bring the day when it shall be known that He puts an everlasting distinction between the godly and the ungodly.
words ... stout - Hebrew, “hard”; so “the hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him” (Jud 1:15) [Henderson].
have we spoken - The Hebrew expresses at once their assiduity and habit of speaking against God [Vatablus]. The niphal form of the verb implies that these things were said, not directly to God, but of God, to one another (Eze 33:20) [Moore].
