That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
Ver. 30. That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?] Here is the passenger's verdict; viz. that wicked men escape scot free, and flourish for a season; nevertheless their preservation is but a reservation (as Pharaoh, Sennacherib, and others have found it), and if they flourish for the present, it is that they may be destroyed for ever, Psalms 92:7. Others read this verse more suitably to the next, thus, That at the day of destruction the wicked is kept back, and they are carried out in the day of wrath; that is, they are oft spared when the testimonies of God's wrath are rife against others.
