Verse 32
32. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness Or, shall be thrust down, or, as we say, knocked down, in, by, or on account of, his baseness or badness.
But the righteous hath hope in his death Has a shelter or refuge. Gesenius renders: “The righteous in his death trusteth,” that is, in God. Stuart: “The righteous hath confidence in his death.” He remarks, “How, or why, are questions for those to answer who deny that the Hebrews had any hope of a future state. If they had not, what, then, is the source of hope or confidence in a dying hour? If there was nothing beyond the grave, in their view, on what is their hope or confidence fixed.” Comp. Job 13:15; Psalms 17:15; Psalms 23:6; Psalms 37:37; 2Co 1:9 ; 2 Corinthians 5:8.
