The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Ver. 13. The Lord will laugh at him] See Psalms 2:4. The righteous also shall have a time to laugh at him, Psalms 52:6, and meanwhile comforteth himself with this, that God laughed at him, and that therefore himself had no great cause to cry, since ridendo irritos reddit, by laughing at them he blasted all their designs, and that with disgrace; men love not to be laughed at.
For he seeth that his day is coming] His dismal day, his death's day (which will also be his doomsday), that day wherein God hath determined to slay them with their own sword, and to save the righteous; as it is in the two next verses. But especially that last and great day of the world, wherein
Dicetur reprobis, Ite, Venite probis.
He will say to the reprobate, go, and come to the righteous.
