This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_29:20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
Ver. 20. For the terrible one is brought to nought.] This is part matter of the just man’s joy; where observe the contrary characters given to the godly and the wicked; those are said to be lowly, meek, poor in spirit; these to be tyrants, scorners, sedulous in sin, publicans, incorrigible, such as turn aside the just, &c. {Isa_29:20}
And all that watch for iniquity.] Surgunt de nocte latrones; they also break their sleep to devise mischief; {Psa_36:4 Mic_2:1} but they should watch for a better purpose, {Mar_13:37} as Seneca also could say, and Pliny, Qui vitam mortalium vigelium esse pronunciat; { a} who calleth man’s life a watch.
