Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Ver. 6. Lift up your eyes to the heavens.] Man hath a muscle more than ordinary to draw up his eyes heavenward.
And look upon the earth beneath.] How fast and firm it standeth. Ecc 1:4 Yet the whole engine shall be changed. 2Pe 3:10
Shall die in like manner.] Or, Like a louse, as some render it.
But my salvation shall be for ever.] The gospel, together with the spiritual benefits thereby, shall outlast heaven and earth.
