Cross-References
Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame.
Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
And he said to the man, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’:
It will produce thorns and thistles for you,and you will eat the plants of the field.
Then he continued, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them get out of control, making them a laughingstock to their enemies.
Therefore I am terrified in his presence;when I consider this, I am afraid of him.
I tremble in awe of you;I fear your judgments.
The sinners in Zion are afraid;trembling seizes the ungodly:“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire?Who among us can dwell with ever-burning flames?”

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him],.... The Lord always has some righteous ones, in the worst of times, whom he can and does distinguish, single out, and take care of; and it is his will that they should be comforted by his prophets and ministers, who seem to be the persons to whom these words are directed, lest they should be distressed with what is said unto, and what they see is coming upon, the world, or upon a nation in general: and it will be, and is well with such, when calamities are on a nation, in a time of famine, war, or pestilence, under any affliction whatever at death, and at judgment, and to all eternity; the Lord has the highest regard for them; Christ's righteousness, by which they are denominated righteous, secures them from wrath, and entitles them to glory; they are blessed now, and will be happy hereafter. So the Targum,
"say ye to the righteous, ye are blessed,''
pronounce them such as they are: some render it, "say to the righteous, that he do good" i; exhort him, excite and encourage him, to it; such who have believed in Christ for righteousness ought to be careful to maintain good works: others, "say to the righteous", own him, speak well of him, "for it is good"; or say to him, "that he is good" k, a happy man. The Septuagint and Arabic versions, very foreign from the text, and sense of it, render the words, "saying, let us bind the just man, for he is unprofitable to us"; as if they were the words of the wicked Jews, respecting Christ, the just One, so called sarcastically by them: and the reason of the righteous man's happiness follows:
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings: both of what Christ has done for them, as their Head and representative, by whose righteousness they are justified; and of what they have done themselves, under the influence of his Spirit and grace; which being done from a principle of grace, are rewarded with a reward of grace, and not of debt; such enjoy a peace of conscience now, which is the work and effect of righteousness, and shall receive the reward of the inheritance, which is not of the law, but by promise, and of faith, and so by grace.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Say ye to the righteous - The meaning of this verse and the following is sufficiently plain, though expositors have given some variety of interpretation. They declare a great principle of the divine administration similar to what is stated in Isaiah 1:19-20. Lowth reads it, âPronounce ye a blessing on the just; verily good (shall be to him).â
That it shall be well ... - The word rendered âwell,â means âgood.â The sense evidently is, that in the divine administration it shall be well to be righteous. The Septuagint has rendered this in a remarkable manner, connecting it with the previous verse: âWo unto their soul, for they take evil counsel among themselves, saying, âLet us bind the righteous, for he is troublesome unto us:â therefore, they shall eat the fruit of their doings.â
They shall eat ... - That is, they shall receive the appropriate ârewardâ of their works, and that reward shall be happiness. As a farmer who sows his field and cultivates his farm, eats the fruit of his labor, so shall it be with the righteous. A similar expression is found in Proverbs 1:31 :
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
And be filled with their own devices.
Also Jeremiah 6:19 : âI will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thought;â compare Galatians 6:8.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 3:10. Say ye to the righteous — ×צ××ק letsaddik, the × lamed is added here by one MS. and the Chaldee. The righteous is the person,
1. Who fears God.
2. Departs from evil.
3. Walks according to the testimony of God.
4. And expects and prepares for a glorious immortality.
"Pronounce ye." - The reading of this verse is very dubious. The Septuagint for ×××¨× imru read × ×סר neasor, or both, ×××¨× × ×סר imru neasor, and ×× ×× ××× ×× × ki lo tob lanu. ÎηÏÏμεν Ïον δικαιον, οÌÏι Î´Ï ÏÏÏηÏÏÎ¿Ï Î·Ìμιν εÏÏι. Perhaps, for ×××¨× imru, the true reading may be ××©×¨× ashsheru, "bless you;" or ×××¨× ××©×¨× imru ashrey, "say ye, blessed is." The Vulgate and an ancient MS. read in the singular number, ×××× yochel, comedat, "he shall eat."
"It shall be well with him:" - ×× ××× ki tob, "that good." Say nothing to such but good. He is a good man, he does nothing but good, and has a good God to deal with, from whom he expects nothing but goodness. It shall be well with such in all circumstances of life.
1. In prosperity.
2. In adversity.
3. In sickness.
4. In health.
5. In death.
6. In judgment. And,
7. Through eternity.
In every case, occurrence, and circumstance, he shall eat the fruit of his doings - he shall derive benefit from being a righteous man, and walking in a righteous way.
