This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Ver. 11. The earth also was corrupt before God.] Or, rotten, putrid, and stank again. Sin is an offence to all God’s senses; yea, to his very soul, as he complains in Isa_1:1-16. Oh that it were so to ours! then would we not hide it under our tongues, as a child doth sugar, and harbour it in our hearts; yea, let it eat of our meat, and drink of our cup, and lie in our bosoms, as the poor man’s lamb did in Nathan’s parable. {2Sa_12:3} Lust was but a stranger to David, as the prophet there intimates {2Sa_12:4} At other times, and when himself, "I hate vain thoughts," saith he, {Psa_119:113} yea, "every false way," {Psa_119:104} as the vomit of a dog, as the devil’s excrements, as the putrefaction of a dead soul, dead in trespasses; dead and rotten, as here, stinking ( ôåôáñôáéïò ), worse before God, than Lazarus was or could be, after he had lain four days in the grave. {Joh_11:39}
