Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Ver. 25. Therefore he knoweth their works] It appeareth by their punishment that God took notice of their wicked works, though they thought otherwise; yea, when they know not, or are not aware of it, he overthroweth them therefore. This he doth in the night, i.e. suddenly and unexpectedly. Others render it, As soon as he hath changed the night they are crushed; that is, as soon as he hath brought forth the light which revealeth all things, Ephesians 5:19, and layeth them open to public view, who before were taken for better men, they are destroyed, as public pests.
