This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Break thou; or, Thou wilt break. For it may be either a prayer or a prophecy.



The arm, i.e. his strength, the instrument of violence and mischief.



Seek out his wickedness; search for it so strictly, and punish these wicked atheists so severely.



Till thou find none, i.e. no such wickedness, to wit, undiscovered and unpunished, or indeed left in the world, or at least in the church; which might happen, because those wicked men here spoken of should be generally either convinced or rooted out, and the rest should be warned and reformed by their example, and so this lewdness should cease out of the land, as the phrase is, Eze_23:48. That is said to be sought for, and not found, which is utterly lost, as Job_20:7,8 Psa 37:36 Rev_16:20 18:21. And this phrase is used both of good men, whose sins are taken away by God’s grace and mercy, pardoning and purging them away, and of wicked men in the sense above mentioned.
