Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
Hell and destruction (Hebrew, Sheol and Abaddon) (are) before the Lord. "Destruction" - i:e., the place of destruction or damnation; Gehenna, as distinguished from Sheol or Hades the unseen world of departed spirits in general. Though unseen by our eyes, those dark abodes are plainly seen by God (Proverbs 15:3; Job 26:6; cf. Job 28:22). "The angel of the bottomless pit" is called in Hebrew, "Abaddon;" in Greek, "Apollyon" (Revelation 9:11).
How much more then the hearts of the children of men? Let not 'forsakers of the way' (Proverbs 15:10) think even their secret thoughts can escape the eye of God.
