Bible Comments

The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding That forsaketh the rule of God's word, and walketh after his own lusts; shall remain in the congregation of the dead Shall, without repentance, be condemned to eternal death and destruction; Hebrew, בקהל רפאים, In the congregation of the Rephaim; his lot shall be among those wicked souls hereafter, namely, in the depths of Sheol; or the lowest and most wretched parts of it, where the lewd and dissolute go, Proverbs 9:18. See this considered at large in the note on Job 26:5.
