But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up. Several critics follow Lachmann's punctuation here, making this to be but a continuation of the preceding sentence-thus, 'not knowing that the goodness of God is leading thee to repentance, and that after thy hardness and impenitent heart thou art treasuring up,' etc. But this seems to us no improvement.
Unto thyself wrath against х en (G1722)] - rather, 'in,'
The day of wrath - i:e., 'to come on thee in the day of wrath.'
And ('of the') revelation of the righteous judgment of God. The awful idea here expressed is, that the sinner is amassing, like hoarded treasure, an ever-accumulating stock of divine wrath, to burst upon him in the day of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God. And of whom is this said? Not of monstrous sinners, but of those who boasted of their purity of faith and life.
