He that soweth iniquity, &c.— Houbigant renders this, He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: the rod shall disperse and dissipate his labour: and he supposes the idea to be taken from sowing and harvest. See Isaiah 28:27-28. Schultens says the meaning is, that, "He who soweth iniquity, when he thinks his harvest to be come, shall himself undergo the flail or rod; by which he shall be consumed, being bruised himself who used to bruise others, and his punishment shall be complete." The LXX add to the proverb, The Lord blesseth or loveth a cheerful giver; but will complete the vanity of his works. See 2 Corinthians 9:7.
