Verse 10
The wicked shall see it ,.... The glory and happiness of the upright man: so when the witnesses shall ascend to heaven, a phrase expressive of a more glorious state of the church, their enemies shall behold them, Revelation 11:12 .
And be grieved ; at their happiness, and grudge it: the Targum is,
"and shall be angry at him;'
the upright man.
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away ; like snow water F18 "Mens mea tabida liquescit", &c.; "Liquescunt pectora", &c.; Ovid. de Ponto, l. 1. Eleg. 1. v. 68. & Eleg. 2. v. 57. ; or as a snail melteth, or as wax before the fire, Psalm 58:7 , shall pine away with grief and envy at the happiness and prosperity of the righteous; the wicked will weep and gnash their teeth, when they shall see them in the kingdom of heaven, and they themselves shut out, Luke 13:28 . The desire of the wicked shall perish; they shall not have their desire, neither of good things for themselves here and hereafter, nor of evil things for the righteous.
