For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
Ver. 27. For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish] How can they do otherwise, when as salvation is far from them? Psalms 119:155. And upon this ground it is that I do so earnestly desire to be with thee; since
Thou hast destroyed (or shut up from punishment) all them that go a whoring from thee] Having their hearts full of harlotry, as appeareth by their courting the creature.
