To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Ver. 35. To me belongeth vengeance and recompense.] The Hebrew word for vengeance, זהם, signifies comfort also; for God will be comforted in the execution of his wrath. Eze 5:13 See Trapp on " Deu 28:63 " He shows such severity sometimes as if he had blotted that out of his title, Exo 34:6 and now took up that Emperor's motto, Fiat iustitia, pereat mundus.
Their foot shall slide in due time.] "They are set in slippery places"; Psa 73:18 they ever walk as upon a mine of gunpowder ready to be blown up: Nemo crimen gerit in pectore, qui non idem Nemesin in tergo. Nemesis dicitur Aδραστεια, quod ουκ αν τις αυτην αποδρασαιτο. God's wrath is such, as none can avert or avoid.
