Psalms 73:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

They that are far from thee; they that forsake thee and thy ways, preferring the prosperity of this present evil world before thy love, and favour, and service; they who estrange themselves from the love, and life, and acquaintance of God; that say to God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways, as they did, Job 21:14. Thou hast destroyed; thou will certainly and dreadfully destroy them. Them that go a whoring from thee; those who having professed subjection to thee, shall afterwards revolt from thee, and sell themselves to work wickedness; which is called whoredom in Scripture. For none are more hateful to God, than willful and wicked apostates from the principles and practice of the true religion, which once they owned.

Psalms 73:27

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
