Psalms 34:16 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The face of the Lord, i.e. his anger, oft called his face, as Leviticus 17:10, Leviticus 20:5 Jeremiah 44:11 Lamentations 4:16, because anger discovers itself in the face. Them that do evil, i.e. whose common course, and study, arid business it is to do evil; for else there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not, Ecclesiastes 7:20. To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth; utterly to deprive both them and their children of that worldly happiness, which is the only thing that they desire, and seek by their wicked courses.

Psalms 34:16

16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
