When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for ever:
Ver. 7. When the wicked spring as the grass, &c.] This the fool admireth, calling the proud happy, &c., Malachi 3:15, and not considering that that proud grass shall be mown down, and that that flourish shall soon perish.
It is that they shall be destroyed for ever] Not grow again, as mown grass doth: Exoriuntur ut exurantur. It is but as Haman's banquet before execution.
