This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked: and as thou hast precious and gracious thoughts towards me, and all that love and fear thee; so thou hast other kinds of thoughts and purposes towards wicked men, such as thou knowest mine enemies to be, even to destroy them utterly.
Depart from me therefore; I renounce your friendship and society. I will not partake with you in your sins, lest I should also partake of your plagues.
Ye bloody men, Heb. ye men of blood; either,
1. Passively, deserving death, or guilty of blood, or of death, as the phrase is, Num_35:27,31 Mt 26:66. Or rather,
2. Actively, blood-thirsty, or shedders of blood, as this phrase is generally taken, as 2Sa_16:8 Psa_26:9 55:23 59:2. Having called them wicked men in general, he now gives a particular account of their wickedness; they were unjust and cruel towards men, and withal profane and impious towards God, as he tells us in the next verse.
