Psalms 34:21 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Evil; either,

1. The evil of sin. His own wickedness, though designed against others, shall destroy himself. Or,

2. The evil of misery. When the afflictions of good men shall have a happy issue, theirs shall end in their total and final destruction. That hate the righteous; that persecute them, and plot their ruin; which is an evidence that they hate them, whatsoever they may pretend to the contrary.

Psalms 34:21

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.b
