For the Lord will not cast off for ever: The Lord will not cast off forever. True repentance is never without hope (Psalms 94:14). Verse 32. Though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. The punishments of the godly are but for a time.
Verse 33. He doth not afflict willingly. He doth not afflict any willingly, literally, from His heart - i:e., as if He had any pleasure in it (Ezekiel 33:11), much less the godly (Hebrews 12:10).
