This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
At his day, i.e. at the day of his destruction, as the word day is used, Psa_37:13 137:7 Eze_21:25 Oba_1:12. They shall be amazed at the suddenness, and dreadfulness, and prodigiousness of it, as Job’s friends were at his calamities, Job_2:12,13. They that went before, i.e. before the persons last mentioned; those who lived in the time and place where this judgment was inflicted.
Affrighted; or, filled with horror; partly through humanity and compassion, and partly for fear, lest the judgment should overtake them also.
